The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in January 2020. It has been discounted 64 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 73 percent. On the same math Eldritch ($14.99, scores 67) and Overture ($4.99, scores 40) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
None of the 349 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to June 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 136 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.7 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

At first, I like the game. Good character design, nice visuals and dark atmosphere etc make the game playable. As a Lovecraft enthusiast, world of the Untold Stories makes me feel the sense of uneasieness of the game. I liked it, but game is hard. For some players, that makes it more enjoyable.
