What drives the score

How to read this

Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $6.49. That was August 2021. 22 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 12 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $8.73. The record reaches that level 9 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, The Darkside Detective ($14.99, scores 67) and Little Inferno ($14.99, scores 67) both come in lower.

Critics scored it 89. Players sit 9 points higher at 98 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts 72 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 697 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

It's a good fun game (chapter five was especially well made), you can tell this game was made with passion and care of a true indie developer. Personaly I felt like the story and voice acting wasn't that incredible--but the gameplay and general fun I had playing this game more than made up for it.

Brilliant, unique and really funny. Many original gameplay mechanics. Some parts were a bit tricky, but the hints system is well done.
GuiguiRecommendedafter 5.7h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
This game breaks the fourth wall so well that 'confusing' feels like the highest compliment I can give it. Genuinely fun, delightfully baffling, and I loved every second of it.

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/1240210)](https://steambangers.com/game/1240210/there-is-no-game-wrong-dimension)

The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.

Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 18, price as of Sep 24.
