The value story
The lowest price on record is $8.99, set in June 2024. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 24 in the 4 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. No sale on record has reached $6.55, the price it would take to be a BANGER.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Christmas Massacre ($3.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats MADiSON ($26.24, scores 51).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 12 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 6.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 397 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 813 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 228 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
By far my favorite Puppet Combo game so far. It has the classic Puppet Combo artstyle, but I think the gameplay is easily the best out of any of his games. It's a really good slasher game and I really liked being able to explore the house and figure out how everything works. The puzzles are also really well balanced. They aren't too easy but also never felt unnecessarily confusing and the house itself is probably...
The lore behind this game that connects to other puppet combo games is insane. Amazing gameplay would recommend im going to 100% it.
