The value story

The lowest price on record is $19.99, set in June 2026. It has gone on sale once in the 38 days tracked here, most recently in June 2026.

On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Purple Place - Classic Games ($1.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Hokko Life ($19.99, scores 16).

This site sampled 206 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to August 2026.

12.9 hours to finish it, 26 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.0 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 12.9 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
