The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was November 2016. 54 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 27 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs ($19.99, scores 20) beats it on value, while it beats Gravewood High (free, scores 1).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 156 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 47 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

7% start to 4% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Graphics and mechanics feel outdated and controls are suddenly clunky. levels are boring and the game feels more like a chore than fun. regret spending time on it rather than playing something more exciting.
