Each input wears a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The color is the direction: green raises the score, red lowers it, grey sits neutral. ▼ marks a dock, ? a missing input. The exact weights stay secret. These are the inputs and the direction each pushes.
Most players never reach the end. On a 33.2-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in February 2024. It has been discounted 97 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $2.99 at 85 percent off matches that floor. It does not get cheaper than this.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math: Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI ($59.99, scores 72) and Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization ($4.99, scores 72) both outscore it.
Steam's global achievement data says about under 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 33.2-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.
