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

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Holding it back
Value$4.99/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Refunds39 of 681 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.29. That was December 2024. It has been discounted 28 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 11 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa's Rampage ($2.49, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Moving Out ($2.49, scores 58).

This site sampled 681 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 39 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 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 234 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 39 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 1,746 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 37 percent of everything written about it.
