What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was December 2022. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 30 in the 9 years tracked, about 15 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. On the same math Welcome to the Game ($4.99, scores 67) and Scrutinized ($9.99, scores 77) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 36 of the 640 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 76 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 36 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 745 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.
The drop-off
72% start to 4% finishSteam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 4-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

What players say
With the original, I felt very Welcomed to the Game™, with this, I feel very Welcomed to the Game Too™
Realizing I'd never figure the game out on my own, I watched Insym's guide-and ended up beating it on my second try. I LOVE that guy.
The concept and atmosphere are great, but I found the game too confusing and unpleasant to play: Walls of text, slow gameplay, obscure mechanics and... save file gets deleted on death?
