Steam's global achievement data puts about 16 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 4.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 30 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 515 have a larger share. In its first 30 days on sale, 17 of 207 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 924 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
