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
September 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. 49 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 82 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. 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 8 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 40 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Primordia ($9.99, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats CAT Interstellar ($0.89, scores 34).
This site sampled 497 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 191 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
A pretty nice game. The controls are really strange and a bit annoying. But still the game has a rather good story and nice mechanics. The chase scenes are really annoying though. Its not a must play, especially if you are not really into sci-fi as me. I got it at a huge discount, but even for the full price its pretty worth is. I can recommend it.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day scores 38/100 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/406970/the-uncertain-last-quiet-dayThe 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 Sep 17, price as of Sep 24.
