What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Narrative game (about 5 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
October 2018 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 78 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. On the same math Conarium ($19.99, scores 32) and Homesick ($14.99, scores 32) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
75 on Metacritic, 60 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 12 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. Inside the two-hour refund window, 27 percent of the 237 reviews written there were positive, against 60 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.

Anna - Extended Edition scores 6/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 5 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/217690/anna-extended-editionThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
