Each input wears a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The color is the direction: green raises the score, red lowers it, grey sits neutral. ▼ marks a dock, ? a missing input, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.

Its an okay game for me personally. I had to get it out of my backlog so I had to sit through it for a few hour. It was a craze a few years back so, I had already spoiled myself. I don't hate it too much but its not something that is mind boggling either. I can recommend it in sales, and to personally experience Charles in the flesh(digitally) Tasks/Achievements were fairly straightforward except Nightmare mode...
