The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in March 2025. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 8 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Figment 2: Creed Valley ($24.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats The Uncertain: Light At The End ($9.99, scores 14).

The press gave it 76; the people who bought it give it 90 percent. A 14-point gap in the buyer's favour.

This site sampled 413 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 104 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 7.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

It strikes a nice balance between being childish and mature, kind of like a Ghibli movie. The art style adds a lot of magic...

I loved the idea of a world where forgotten things end up and come to life, and together with the charming characters and beautiful art, it gives the game an identity that's hard to forget. But at times, it feels like an animated movie that forgets it's also a game. The gameplay can be a bit dull and unresponsive, and the platforming is frustrating early on. It becomes less of a focus later, leaving more room for...

I just loved this story. I don't know exactly what hooked me so deeply, but I completed the game twice (technically thrice because of two different endings and the final tarot cards that are a result of all your moral choices throughout the playthrough ). The first run was just for the experience, and the second time was for the achievements, particularly "The Pacifist" and I loved it just as much as the first time...
