The game of your dreams just dropped, DUCK SEASON, a hunter with ridiculous graphics. Luckily, it's summer vacation and Mom just surprised you with a one day rental of it! Unfortunately, as you binge play it becomes apparent that all is not right with Duck Season...

The value story
It has never been cheaper than $11.99. That was October 2021. It has been discounted 47 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 35 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 49 percent on value. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 65 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Duck Season PC ($9.99, scores 59) and BONEWORKS ($29.99, scores 64) both outscore it.
Of the 423 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 16 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 63 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 662 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 45 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Well made Game! this game is TRUE HORROR. like it gives you a sense of Security, and when you progress the game it starts taking away that safety and replaces it with sense of Danger. THIS IS WHAT HORROR GAMES SHOULD BE!!! Peak Game
For such a beautiful game, runs surprisingly well on my computer. Do recommend, also the dog WILL piss you off.
Duck Season is a virtual reality psychological horror game developed and published by Stress Level Zero that transforms a familiar childhood pastime into an unsettling journey filled with mystery and suspense. Set during the summer of 1988, the story begins with a simple premise: a young boy receives a rental copy of a popular duck hunting game for his home console. At first, everything feels comfortably nostalgic...
