Reach35K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$1.33/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds0 of 20 reviews

AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

37 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 41 weeks ago.

It is less well reviewed than 84 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Roguebook ($1.74, scores 60) and Overture ($4.99, scores 40) both outscore it.
