The value story
It has never been cheaper than $4.19. That was August 2025. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 6 in the 14 months tracked, about 11 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games closest to it, Trials of Innocence ($14.44, scores 87) and Insomnia: Theater in the Head ($2.49, scores 87) both come in lower.
The math says it holds its tier up to $9.44, and you are being asked for $7.99.
Of the 792 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 15 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,330 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 384 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
