Reviews72% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds9 of 221 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

This is by far the best hello neighbor game! I played through it and experienced 0 bugs. And the puzzles had the perfect difficulty level!
