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
Reach150K+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
For context
Length1 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
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

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Tukoni: Prologue (free, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Business Tour - Board Game with Online Multiplayer(大富翁) (free, scores 5).

The main story runs 1 hours. Doing everything runs 8, 8.0 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
