The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in November 2017. It has been discounted 79 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. On the same math The Suicide of Rachel Foster ($17.99, scores 19) and This Bed We Made ($24.99, scores 54) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Critics scored it 74, but players land 10 points lower at 64 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.
4 of the 630 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 1,119 reviews written there were positive, against 64 percent overall, and those are 42 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 1.9 hours; clearing it takes 4, which is 2.0 times the campaign.
At 1.9 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
