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 Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
December 2015 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. It has been discounted 52 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 34 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 72 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners ($19.99, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats This Land Is My Land ($29.99, scores 14).
76 from critics against 86 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Of the 337 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 740 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.

The Ship: Murder Party scores 52/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). Length is estimated at 6 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/2400/the-ship-murder-partyThe 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 3, price as of Sep 23.
