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 Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds55 of 710 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

No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was June 2026. 43 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, SuchArt: Creative Space (free, scores 92) beats it on value, while it beats Cafe Owner Simulator ($18.99, scores 11).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. Of the 710 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 55 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2021 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, 57 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 55 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 788 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 50 percent of everything written about it.
