The value story
The value story
Across all 6 discounts in the 7 months tracked, the median cut is 30 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 25 percent. It is better reviewed than 86 percent of its genre. Romance Club - Stories I Play (free, scores 44) outscores it, and so does Youtubers Life ($19.99, scores 44). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about Don't Play This
This site sampled 456 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 23 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,604 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 42 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 23 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 862 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 86 percent of everything written about it.
