The value story

The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in December 2020. It has been discounted 23 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 13 weeks between sales. No sale on record has reached $13.38, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 ($7.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats CASE: Animatronics ($9.99, scores 54).

Of the 763 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 41 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 2,416 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

At 11.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

Some of them are a lot of fun, specially the recreation of the old FNaF levels but some are so boring/frustrating that I just skipped them. Despite what I read online Vanny doesn't make a single appearance in the game. Its just Glitchtrap who slowly gets closer as you find audio tapes. Beating Glitchtrap and getting...
