No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way

The value story

June 2017 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. 65 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 17 percent on value. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tabletop Simulator ($19.99, scores 91) beats it on value, while it beats THE GAME OF LIFE 2 ($12.49, scores 46).

This site sampled 452 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 152 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
