The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in September 2022. 37 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $4.35. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 11 percent on value. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fran Bow ($14.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Just Ignore Them ($3.99, scores 37).

The press gave it 57; the people who bought it give it 92 percent. A 35-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 460 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

I've been a fan of KillMonday since Fran Bow. I love the massive change in style and the colorful setting contrasted with the dark subject matter. I meant to write a review after finishing it the first time but, hey, playthrough 3 is better than no review at all!
TheLittlestPikaRecommendedafter 6.0hSep 2026Read on Steam
A cute little game with a lot of dark humor. It's made by the same people as Fran Bow, though it has a different vibe. This is less horror and more uncomfortable for the sake of a reaction. While I find myself definitely preferring Fran Bow, this game is worth a try. Especially since it seems they will have a sort of combined sequel!

perfect game. I cried a lot. I love this game with a passion, a definite recommendation.
