The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in December 2025. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Pilgrims ($6.99, scores 67) and The Darkside Detective ($14.99, scores 67) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This site sampled 760 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 200 reviews written there were positive, against 52 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

4 hours to finish it, 11 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.7 times the campaign.

As much as I like Cyanide & Happiness, I can't recommend this game. Not only is it too short for what you are paying for, but it's also episode 1 of a 3 episode game series that looks like it will never be completed. If you want to try it out, I would hold off on getting it until it's on sell or when they have completed episodes 2 & 3.

GIVE US PART 2 IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS! Last update was June 2025 y'all said you're expecting a 2026 release date....well it's June 2026. Halfway through the year and nothing?! Be a bit more transparent. We went several years without a single word on the development and we get 1 update 1 year ago basically just saying yes it's still coming out but in 2026...for some reason I doubt that. I'm so beyond frustrated. Please...
