The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was January 2020. It has been discounted 106 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 90 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 11 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Chaos on Deponia ($19.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Randal's Monday ($19.99, scores 34).

76 from critics against 85 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

This site sampled 547 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026.

It surely is still not perfect with messed up plot points, ridiculous riddles that are impossible to solve without guides, and some insensitive jokes, but it has soul in it.

I had high hopes for this game. I thought we would get a good ending and the same game loop which is so enjoyable.
