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
Reviews66% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$0.87/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length8 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds7 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
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 $3.49, set in June 2026. 30 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 73 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. Brotato ($4.99, scores 91) outscores it, and so does Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok ($9.99, scores 69). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

7 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 249 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
