The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.49. That was March 2020. It has been discounted 75 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County ($4.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats The Lar (free, scores 81).

Steam's global achievement data puts 30 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. None of the 344 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 1,066 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 59 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 0.7 hours; clearing it takes 3, which is 3.7 times the campaign.

Short and Sweet Season of 12 Colors is a beautiful little story about memories and paper planes. The game is broken into short, bite-sized chapters and won't take you longer than two hours to finish. There are some lovely CGs along the way, and a lovely soundtrack to keep you immersed too. Overall, a great read, and with its cheap price, it's definitely worth checking out!
