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
Reviews70% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach35K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$1.82/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
Refunds5 of 522 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
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

Across all 22 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 25 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 82 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. West of Dead ($3.99, scores 29) and The Last Stand: Aftermath ($24.99, scores 53) both outscore it.

More about Section 13

Of the 522 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 138 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 11 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

A game like this has no single ending, so its score does not use the finish rate. The curve shows where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Saturday morning cartoon version of Control (complimentary). A bit janky but the story and voice acting more than make up for it imo

overall a fun play, gets repeaty after a few hours though/ not really sure the point of long term play
jacenkRecommendedafter 6.4hJun 2026Read on Steam
Like the game, but happy i bought it on sale, so giving postive review with that in mind. But is way to repetetive, since every run is almost the same.
