The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.99, set in August 2025. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 43 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Paradise Killer ($19.99, scores 72) and The Council (free, scores 62), are both worse buys on this math.

$21.00 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $19.99.

Critics scored it 79. Players sit 18 points higher at 97 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts 84 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 327 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to September 2026.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 14.5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

As an AuDHD individual, and long-time gray muzzle in the furry fandom, I have to give it to Cowcat Games, this is an absolutely missing masterpiece in the gaming world today.
