The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.79. That was March 2026. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 60 in the 10 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 22 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Heaven's Vault ($24.99, scores 58) and Omensight: Definitive Edition ($19.99, scores 58) both outscore it.

Steam's global achievement data puts 31 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15.

Finishing takes 2.5 hours; clearing it takes 9, which is 3.5 times the campaign.

At 2.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Along The Edge est un visual novel racontant l'histoire d'une jeune adulte revenant dans son village natal pour y visiter le manoir familial après un héritage. L'histoire se laisse suivre, les choix et les embranchements possibles sont riches. En fait, si vous suivez vos intuitions telles que vous reagiriez en vrai, cela vous donne un super test de personnalité sur mesure ! Un peu court en soi, mais assez prenant vu...
