What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews89% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 88% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
For context
Length0.7 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 88 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Scorn ($3.99, scores 49) and Agony ($14.99, scores 1), are both worse buys on this math.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
