The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was May 2025. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 89 in the 9 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 11 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Forest ($19.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Mist Survival ($10.99, scores 28).

Of the 488 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 302 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

10.5 hours to finish it, 22 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.1 times the campaign.
