The value story

It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was April 2021. 61 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 22 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 64 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Eastward ($24.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats Immortals Fenyx Rising ($3.99, scores 34).

Of the 466 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 249 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 15.7 hours; clearing it takes 62, which is 4.0 times the campaign.

The game follows Akko as she accidentally disrupts time at Luna Nova and must fix the resulting loop with the help of her friends. The premise is faithful to the show and sets up a playful blend of magic, mystery, and school life. Visually, the game is one of its...
