The value story
January 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. 34 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $6.16, a level the record has reached 30 times.
Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 95 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Yes, Your Grace ($3.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats Choice of Life: Middle Ages 2 ($6.99, scores 76).
Steam's global achievement data puts 26 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 781 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2021 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,476 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 381 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 4.6 hours; clearing it takes 11, which is 2.5 times the campaign.

What players say
My favorite frustration-inducing game series. I already knew I'll be fuming and losing (already sparsely distributed) brain cells from those interactions but somehow each game manages to do worse in the ragebait department, which I genuinely applaud. The amount of realism is insane (at least based on how I imagine social media from the time I barely even existed) and excavated memories I'd prefer to have kept...
holy shi, i only bought this game because it was a few cents but i didnt expect it to be that good. i defintely reccomend.
really wanted to like this as someone who was a teenager on facebook in 2008, but the characters are completely indistinguishable from one another and the dialogue writing is just not good.
