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
Reviews86% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 85% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach10K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds17 of 375 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
Value$3.57/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
