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

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Narrative game (about 5 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 79% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds13 of 490 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.79. That was October 2021. 47 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 41 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. Among the games that feel like it, MADiSON ($26.24, scores 51) beats it on value, while it beats Maid of Sker ($24.99, scores 36).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 2 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. 13 of the 490 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 35 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 13 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 271 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.
