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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Narrative game (about 5 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.27. That was December 2025. Its cuts run 17 percent off as a rule. There have been 23 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $3.27 at 18 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Capsule Lover ($3.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Our End of the World ($5.99, scores 48).
Of the 339 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 199 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).

Bagel Love Story scores 80/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). Length is estimated at 5 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2798600/bagel-love-storyThe 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 23.
