Value puts it in the top 19 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, AER Memories of Old ($14.99, scores 55) beats it on value, while it beats Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP ($7.99, scores 44).
The press gave it 78; the people who bought it give it 90 percent. A 12-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 410 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 316 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.7 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
