The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.33, set in July 2023. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 66 in the 9 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is cheaper than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Dear Esther: Landmark Edition ($9.99, scores 28) and Marie's Room (free, scores 82) both outscore it.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 16 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 0.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour.

Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 308 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 77 percent of everything written about it.
