S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

broke into my neighbour's home, stole everything he owned over a period of 5 days. I then used the money to buy this game. 8/10 would do again
There is a grating sound in the background which drives me insane. I can't turn it down in-game because it's a part of the ambient noise and that doesn't have an audio setting so I have to set it to 1% in the windows application audio settings. Devs can you please fix this?
