The value story

December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. 70 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 4 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 32 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Snacko ($24.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Hokko Life ($19.99, scores 16).

Of the 653 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 9 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 197 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.
