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 $0.14, set in July 2015. 80 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 51 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
It is cheaper than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, StarMade ($14.99, scores 15) beats it on value, while it beats New kind of adventure ($1.99, scores 0).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 237 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
It's hard to recommend a game that feels unfinished and will never get a sequel to continue the story. Even at its current price, I wouldn't suggest picking it up.
It's a crappy RPG Maker game that's also abandonware. There are hundreds of these games on steam and this one only stands out for the fact that it's surprisingly unfinished. Like how the hell does someone not finish making one of these RPG Maker game?
Unfinished, abandoned RPGMaker game with minimal content and unbalanced characters

Terra Incognita Chapter One: The Descendant scores 12/100 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/347560/terra-incognita-chapter-one-the-descendantThe 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 1, price as of Sep 24.
