More about Curious Cases
This site sampled 211 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 795 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 96 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 6 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 158 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 46 percent of everything written about it.
