The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.24, set in March 2024. 48 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 43 percent of the games it competes with. Among the games that feel like it, Scrap Mechanic ($28.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Dude Simulator 3 ($4.99, scores 18).

34 of the 725 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2021 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 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 117 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 62 percent of the 675 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 3.5 hours; clearing it takes 12, which is 3.5 times the campaign.

At 3.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
