The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in April 2025. Its cuts run 51 percent off as a rule. There have been 71 in the 9 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 28 percent on value. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. Visage ($34.99, scores 44) outscores it, and so does The Solus Project ($19.99, scores 49). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
62 from critics against 79 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
None of the 401 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 382 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 40 percent of everything written about it.
At 1.6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
absolute cinema !! blurred the line between determination and obstinacy. love love love the graphics and story progression as well.
It feels familiar and predictable rather than fresh, but it still offers a polished horror experience.
WOW (some) SPOILERS AHEAD BE CAREFUL!!! It starts well, then the plot starts developing and it's very predictable, the ambience sort of dies midway, has some of the goofiest scenes I've seen in a horror game (particularly the ones with the bird man, I could not stop laughing when I saw him playing the piano). It has some "interesting" puzzles, the hardest one being a morse code. That one was the best one and I say...
