The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was September 2018. 89 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Broken Age ($14.99, scores 42) and Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes ($19.99, scores 59) both outscore it.

Of the 418 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 44 percent of the 167 reviews written there were positive, against 59 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

I have no idea why people don't like this game, I've managed to get at least halfway through without a guide. The baby crying puzzles are really easy to intuit if you actually use your ears, and the rest of them are cryptic but not in a way that feels too difficult to parse (it's actually kind of easy).

it's impossible to complete the game w/o hints but the game is perfect, so much fun!

As a fan of The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys, I just had to play this game. I understand why some people complain about the puzzles and how hard they are, but I am a veteran of point-and-click adventure games, and I haven't come across any that I think were unfair .
