Refunds7 of 219 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

It has been discounted 76 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. On the same math DEVOUR ($9.99, scores 84) and Agony ($14.99, scores 1) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

More about Grandpa

Of the 219 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 693 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 15 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 218 reviews written there were positive, against 49 percent overall, and those are 85 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 0.2 hours; clearing it takes 1, which is 2.5 times the campaign.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

The game is poorly made, But it made me laugh a lot, I know it is not worth buying it at full price maybe get it at a discount.
