The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.49. That was June 2022. 82 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Psalm 5:9-13 ($3.99, scores 45) beats it on value, while it beats Gravewood High (free, scores 1).

This site sampled 252 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 204 reviews written there were positive, against 60 percent overall, and those are 61 percent of everything written about it.

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