The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.14. That was June 2022. It has been discounted 60 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Röki ($19.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Call of the Sea ($19.99, scores 54).

None of the 366 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026.
