What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews61% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach150K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$2.08/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length2.4 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds1 of 133 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.51. That was September 2020. 109 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 4 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 82 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine ($14.99, scores 83) outscores it, and so does Of Guards And Thieves (free, scores 60). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 220 reviews written there were positive, against 61 percent overall, and those are 59 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 2.4 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 6, 2.3 times as much.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
