Needs a second account on top of Steam, a small friction discount
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
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
