The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 53 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 14 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 72 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 82 percent. The Novelist ($4.99, scores 38) outscores it, and so does Adios ($17.99, scores 51). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Thirty Flights of Loving

The press liked it more than its buyers did, 88 against 64 percent.

6 of the 276 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 147 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 1,188 reviews written there were positive, against 64 percent overall, and those are 92 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 0.3 hours. Doing everything runs 1, 2.3 times as long.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 0.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Cost per hour$16.63/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 65% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds6 of 276 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
