The value story

October 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. 92 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 33 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 73 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Rain World ($24.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Deadlight ($14.99, scores 45).

76 from critics against 87 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Of the 640 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 454 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

One of my favourite games of all time Even thought theres 1001 ways to make it better, i still prefer this The unmatched vibe and story of this game still make it so good to play even after i finished it over 5 times

Beautiful pixel art, amazing atmosphere, tense resource management, and a mystery that kept me hooked till the end. The ending felt a bit too abrupt, but the journey was absolutely worth it. If you like atmospheric indie games, don't skip this one. 8.8/10 👍

It's FINE, I guess. Kind of feels empty and barebones but everything works fine the gameplay loop is fine and everything is... fine. A little too much yapping for story exposure. Boring stuff. tl;dr This is nothing to write home about but eh, it's cheap enough these days so I'll leave the decision making to you and your personal tastes.
