The value story
May 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $2.24. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 69 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 25 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 71 percent. Haven ($24.99, scores 60) outscores it, and so does Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure ($15.99, scores 53). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
4 of the 670 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 250 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

However, it does take some getting used to, as the visuals often produce an uncanny-valley effect rather than the appealing and lively...
This game is a good game, but nothing that blows my mind. I really wanted to like it, it seemed right up my alley. But the lack of choices, the main conflict of the game, and the weak ending just made it a solid okay.
