The value story

October 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $0.30. It has been discounted 112 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 51 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

It is cheaper than 80 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. GET EVEN ($29.99, scores 30) outscores it, and so does Prodeus ($24.99, scores 58). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

2 of the 217 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 416 reviews written there were positive, against 49 percent overall, and those are 58 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Creepy atmosphere, interesting premise, but clunky combat and uneven pacing make Red Lake a mixed indie horror experience.
