The value story

March 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $1.49. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 68 in the 9 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 16 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. We Were Here Together ($12.99, scores 56) and We Were Here (free, scores 76) both outscore it.

The press gave it 69; the people who bought it give it 78 percent. A 9-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Players rate it 78 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 68 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 1,131 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This is a horrible puzzle game. Just unnecessarily frustrating because of god awful controls on both m+k and controller. The cubes spinning all over the place when I'm hitting 1 directional input is just ridiculous. I know it's an older game but the controls are worse than an n64 game from 30 years ago which makes absolutely no sense. I was going to pick up the rest of the games in the series but I'm thankful I...

I bought this after enjoying the first game in the series despite its flaws. The puzzle design in this one is horrible. The maze puzzle is especially egregious. The guiding player cannot see the whole maze so it's just repeatedly guessing and failing at the puzzle over and over. Just an exercise in frustration. What a disappointment after an unpolished but overall fun escape room from the first game.

Puzzles are okay, not too difficult to understand but the rotating cube one is horrendous.
