GUILTY! THEY ARE ALL GUILTY! FINGERED is a "whodunit" hyperrealisic police sim where you must finger the guilty and clean up this darn city using the descriptions of the local busy bodies. but everyone's perspective is different: one man's fat is another man's sexy! send him to the chair!!!
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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Short indie game (about 4 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.57. That was March 2022. It has been discounted 19 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 25 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 25 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 37 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 82 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. The Darkside Detective ($14.99, scores 67) and Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion ($14.99, scores 67) both outscore it.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. This site sampled 349 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 748 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 77 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 615 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 63 percent of everything written about it.

Fingered scores 36/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 4 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/384360/fingeredThe 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.
