The value story

It has never been cheaper than $29.99. That was July 2026. In 71 days of price history it has never once been discounted.

Value puts it in the top 8 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 7 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 28.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 88 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 76 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 24 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 10 of 188 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 1,358 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 28.1 hours; clearing it takes 96, which is 3.4 times the campaign.
