The value story

December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. 73 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 66 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 39 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Welcome to Kowloon ($6.99, scores 41) beats it on value, while it beats Uncanny Tales: Cold Road ($2.99, scores 34).

3 of the 425 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 113 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

The Content: The Extended Cut adds a brutal New Game Plus with remixed puzzles and an alternate...

Pretty good. A bit buggy. Either that or I unintentionally found a speedrun strat. I'll try to explain below just in case anyone wishes to try it.* Anyway, the game isn't too scary. A little bit at the beginning which is normal. Exploring the house was fun. The ghost lady that chases you is a bit dodgy honestly. I died a lot but it's not hard to cheese and progress once you figure her out. ᶦ ᶜᵃⁿ ᶠᶦˣ ʰᵉʳ There's not...
