More about Night Bus
8 of the 259 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,627 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 23 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 8 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 231 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 89 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Lovely bus simulation, cracked on with me job, met some lovely people, saw a deer, saw a gremlin man, some weird shenanigans going on occasionally but all in all would work here again. A++
