Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, 512 MB card capable of shader 3.0, 297 MB of storage. Windows only.

You are Price, a man who sold his humanity to get a partnership from a leading company: McDade, Bruton & Moore. DISTRAINT 2 follows on from the events of the first game. It's a sinister tale about restoring hope and finding your purpose.

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

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Narrative game (about 5 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

June 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $0.80. 81 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 83 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Downfall ($8.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Just Ignore Them ($3.99, scores 37).

Steam's global achievement data puts 32 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 443 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 362 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.
