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
Reviews82% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach150K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds37 of 699 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Recent reviews64% (30 days)
Trending down vs lifetime, a small dip

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

The value story

The lowest price on record is $5.99, set in September 2026. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 17 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 14 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 84 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Zort ($3.60, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Unplagued ($3.99, scores 0).

Players rate it 82 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 64 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 699 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 37 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 87 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 661 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
