The value story

July 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $0.83. 93 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 32 percent on value. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 67 percent. Among the games that feel like it, SOMA ($29.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Amnesia: Rebirth ($29.99, scores 36).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 426 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, 53 percent of the 202 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

I'm left so conflicted and deeply unsettled with how this game ended. I need a cozy blanket, tea, and my cat to soothe my soul. I jumped into Never Again completely blind after it sat on my playlist for a long time. It isn't scary or traditional horror, but it gives off a heavy, eerie feel where you just know something isn't right. **Environmental Storytelling: Spotting subtle clues around the house to piece...

Nice story progression , puzzles and gameplay, Ending was kinda meh. could have been ending.
BLADERecommendedafter 13hJul 2026Read on Steam
Legitimately one of the worst games I've ever played. The head bob is egregious to the point of nausea, made worse by the PC swaying like a drunk toddler despite being 13 years old, and the Drag-to-Interact controls are proof the other brain cell at Primary Games committed seppuku to avoid being associated with this POS. I don't even recommend watching a play through unless you down a bottle of Dramamine first.
