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
Reviews67% 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
Refunds17 of 448 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
Value$4.98/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
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 been discounted 65 times in the 10 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 51 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 7 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 72 percent. On the same math Notes of Soul ($29.99, scores 32) and White Noise 2 ($9.99, scores 53) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
