The value story

The value story

9 discounts in the 2 years on record, a median of 30 percent off across all of them, roughly 11 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Its score sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. The nearest things to it, Force of Nature ($7.99, scores 44) and Drug Dealer Simulator ($1.99, scores 71), are both worse buys on this math.

More about Schedule I

17 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 738 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 4,846 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 17.5 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 48, 2.7 times as much.

321,428 reviews stand behind that percentage.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach15M+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0

Refunds17 of 800 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

*My best friend nick wrote this im jacob Me and my best friend Jacob didn't talk very much for about a year, sure we would have a few calls here and there, but we hadn't had an experience that showed what the title "best friend" truly entailed.

This game is good. The early game is immediately immersive and fun. Discovering how to use employees and other business mechanics is fun. The general tone of the game is cool, and let's not forget the music, the tracks on this game are pretty fantastic. I personally hit a fun threshold at around 90-100 hours because at one point you have so much money and no use for it. There is simply not enough content yet. I'd...
