The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.39, set in July 2026. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 79 days tracked here, most recently in August 2026.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. It scores the same as Wanderstop, which costs $24.99. This one is $2.99.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 10 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 9.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
