The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.33, set in November 2022. It has been discounted 91 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 51 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Lines X Free (free, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats Oik 3 ($0.99, scores 72).

3 of the 352 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 439 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 45 percent of everything written about it.

At 3 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

this game has a very relaxed mood. although puzzles themselves can get difficult, there aren't any hints, and i'm not a fan of "solve this puzzle before you can move on to the next" thing: i tend to get stuck and then there's no choice but to quit the game and hope i get a revelation next time i open it (or to check the guide for a solution) which means i can't play for long. however i like the visuals, calm music...

This feels like it should've been a mobile port. The gameplay loop is perfect for short sessions on a phone, but it lacks the depth to justify sitting at a desk and playing on a PC. Doesn't feel right on this platform.
