It is less well reviewed than 62 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, When The Past Was Around ($7.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats 无休仙途 ($5.99, scores 29).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 5 of the 418 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026.

The main story runs 3.7 hours. Doing everything runs 16, 4.4 times as long.
