The value story
February 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 42 in the 8 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $5.09, a level the record has reached 37 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Pony Island ($4.99, scores 84) and Inscryption ($19.99, scores 93) both outscore it.
The press gave it 81; the people who bought it give it 94 percent. A 13-point gap in the buyer's favour.
None of the 516 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 154 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.
5.2 hours to finish it, 12 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.2 times the campaign.
