The value story

June 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $4.79. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 66 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 23 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Hello Neighbor Alpha 4 (free, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats Hello Neighbor Alpha 3 (free, scores 37).

14 of the 457 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 529 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 190 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.
