The value story
June 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $0.79. It has been discounted 76 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $1.35 at 66 percent off still sits 71 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is cheaper than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Lil' Guardsman ($3.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Anna's Quest ($1.99, scores 78).
None of the 336 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, 78 percent of the 108 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 2.5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
Non-linear gameplay Instead of having a series of goals to be completed one by one with the story progressing in distinct chunks after each one (convince the local bridge repairman to come out of retirement so you can cross over to the next part of your journey, that sort of thing), here after we finish the tutorial, we're just given a list of objects we need to collect throughout the game, and then we can go around...
I didn't think I'd like this game at first but I was pleasantly surprised. Took 1 1/2 hrs to complete but was still a very fun adventure.
This is an adorable little point-and-click adventure about an alcoholic 7 year old that wants to destroy everything she hates. I can relate to that so much. Everything about this game was just a pure joy to play, and I lost track of how many times I giggled.
