The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was November 2024. 42 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Past sales have already crossed the $27.33 BANGER line 34 times.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Littlewood ($14.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life ($39.99, scores 33).

Of the 657 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2020 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, 2,409 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 471 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

30.5 hours to finish it, 167 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 5.5 times the campaign.
