The value story

It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was June 2018. 41 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 9 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Paquerette Down the Bunburrows ($11.99, scores 71) and Baba Is You ($14.99, scores 80), are both worse buys on this math.

The math says it holds its tier up to $31.28, and you are being asked for $29.99.

This site sampled 345 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 207 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

Let's get this out of the way: this is a very, very difficult puzzle game. If those words scare you in any way then, respectfully, this game is not for you and you shouldn't waste your time with it. With that obligatory disclaimer over and done with, this game is simply phenomenal, and the intense difficulty is very much part of the reason for that. My first 3 or so hours in this game were spread over at least a...

not for the faint of heart. If you like a big challenge stick up the ass you'll love it, its a puzzle classic no doubt. if you have a weak ego like me its going to make you feel really stupid. be very careful.
