The value story
It has never been cheaper than $1.24. That was October 2025. Its cuts run 85 percent off as a rule. There have been 68 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Crown Trick ($4.99, scores 65) and Dreamscaper ($24.99, scores 67) both outscore it.
Of the 382 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 142 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
The type of flawed game only niche players can like The good stuff I liked: -The amount of detail the game has, like every district has a different map layout, backgrounds, some enemies have stronger versions, etc. -Nearly, every dialog from NPCs changes depending on which chapter you are and which decisions you took so far. -The main character Lyric has 26 different costumes, each with different poses, animations...
What are you waiting for ? 95% off , for this amazing game , grab it and enjoy mesmerizing story . amazing art work . i enjoyed every second of this game !! 10/10 Recommended .
贫瘠的游戏内容与剧情，不能跳过快进的对话，只有一次触发与完成机会的任务，服装与成就收集强制多周目，屎一样的存档机制 以上一连串的COMBO让这游戏连中庸都称不上，奔着美术来的为了服装收集更会品到这游戏的致命缺陷 一坨纯粹的大便
