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

What we assumed
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.

Holding it back
Reviews87% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
For context
Length5.1 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
