The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in June 2026. 25 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 11 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Detroit: Become Human ($39.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats The Uncertain: Light At The End ($9.99, scores 14).

Steam's global achievement data puts 39 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 496 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
