The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.30. That was March 2023. It has been discounted 70 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 51 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.
It is cheaper than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Lucius II ($19.99, scores 8) and PLANET ALPHA ($9.99, scores 23) both outscore it.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 3 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 0.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour.
Finishing takes 0.8 hours; clearing it takes 2, which is 2.5 times the campaign.
The drop-off
