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
November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $0.29. It has been discounted 82 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 51 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is cheaper than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Lines X Free (free, scores 80) and Wayout ($1.99, scores 75) both outscore it.
Of the 388 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 523 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 61 percent of everything written about it.
The drop-off
96% start to 45% rarestNo 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
A game that challenges you mentally and if there is one thing I love in life, then it's to be mentally challenged.
Okay theres a bunch of achievements, I don't really care thats just how some puzzle games are so people can display them on their profile. I think thats actually a fun part of steam culture and it's cool that they added a button to disable them. However Why in the hell is there an achievement thats just the word "r-pe", who is this for?? Lost a lot of respect for the devs what were you cooking why is the minimalist...
