More about Sub Rosa

25 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to November 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 129 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 25 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 315 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

Holding it back
Reviews
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
Refunds25 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
