What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.
Holding it back
Reviews59% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 60% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach10K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
For context
Value$19.97/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Refunds5 of 51 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
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

It has been discounted 4 times in the 2 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 35 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 49 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 89 percent. Wobbly Life ($24.99, scores 90) outscores it, and so does KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 ($14.99, scores 57). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

The drop-off

54% start to 3% rarest
050100rarestfirst achievement

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic).
