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.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.74, set in October 2024. It has been discounted 14 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 85 percent off, with about 10 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 10 weeks.
It is cheaper than 78 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. Arizona Sunshine® VR Legacy ($14.99, scores 38) outscores it, and so does The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners ($19.99, scores 58). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 104 reviews written there were positive, against 52 percent overall, and those are 68 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 0.8 hours; clearing it takes 7, which is 8.2 times the campaign.

Zombies on a Plane scores 0/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/297450/zombies-on-a-planeThe 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 24.
