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

Raising the score
ValueFree
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews96% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 95% after the small-sample adjustment
Engagement7% finish
How far players actually get (achievements), a top-end bonus
Holding it back
Reach75K+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
For context
Length3.8 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, The Forgotten Ones (free, scores 8) and Medusa's Labyrinth (free, scores 48), are both worse buys on this math.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 7 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.8-hour game, that is a lot of evenings the rest never spend.

The drop-off

86% start to 7% finish
050100rarestfirst achievement

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 3.8-hour game, that is a lot of time the rest never put in. Steam global achievements
