The value story

The lowest price on record is $29.99, set in July 2026. In 12 days of price history it has never once been discounted.

Steam's global achievement data says about 3 percent of players ever finish it. On a 18-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 1 percent. Something recent has soured the room.
