The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.49, set in June 2020. It has been discounted 53 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Rust ($39.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Out of Reach ($14.99, scores 2).
20 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 238 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 4,001 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 53 percent of everything written about it.

The controls are incredibly clunky, making even basic tasks a chore, and the game is riddled with bugs that constantly break the immersion. While it can be amusing for the first 30 minutes of chaos, the experience quickly becomes a headache-literally-and the "story" or progression is practically...
