The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in June 2024. It has been discounted 71 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $4.99 at 90 percent off still sits 100 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Steam's global achievement data says about 8 percent of players ever finish it. On a 21-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see.
