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.
The value story
June 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. It has been discounted 24 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Evoland 2 ($4.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Chasm ($19.99, scores 35).
Steam's global achievement data says about 13 percent of players ever finish it. On a 3.5-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 100 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3.5 hours. Doing everything runs 8, 2.1 times as long.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 3.5 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

EvilQuest scores 74/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/263820/evilquestThe 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 2, price as of Sep 24.
