The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was April 2026. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 65 in the 10 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Surgeon Simulator ($0.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Surgeon Simulator 2 ($2.99, scores 0).
33 of the 580 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here 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 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 62 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 33 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 563 reviews written there were positive, against 58 percent overall, and those are 60 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 1.8 hours; clearing it takes 5, which is 2.7 times the campaign.

What players say
So far it opens without issue for me, unlike other people. Doing this tedious game in VR is a lot easier than using mouse and keyboard/controller. Edit: SO MUCH EASIER WITH VR, I had no crash problems whatsoever. I highly recommend getting this on sale, I paid 4 dollars during the summer sale.
It worked well several months but now, every time I try to play : "The game crashed. The crash report folder named "2026-08-03_173310" next to game executable It would be great if you'd send it to the developer of the game!" So, unplayable !
