Holding it back
Reviews78% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach75K+ 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$1.81/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length1.1 hours

MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds3 of 399 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
