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
- 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.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in June 2022. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 20 in the 4 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 65 percent of its genre. Regular Human Workshop ($9.99, scores 59) outscores it, and so does People Playground ($9.99, scores 97). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
This site sampled 510 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 16 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2022 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 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 229 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 16 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 164 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
