Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, 799 MB of storage. Windows only.

The media is quick to put figures to death tolls in such disasters, and 9.03m tries to remind people of the individuals behind those figures. 9.03m is set on Baker Beach in San Francisco, where debris from the tsunami has washed ashore in the years following the tsunami. To play, you must find the butterflies.

Reach35K+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
For context
Length0.2 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
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

The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 8 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 87 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, KARMA: The Dark World ($24.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats The Novelist ($4.99, scores 38).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 614 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 96 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Short little experience, not so much a 'game'. Worth going through and checking out.
