The value story

August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $7.49. 52 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Let's School ($19.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Production Line : Car factory simulation ($24.99, scores 38).

75 from critics against 89 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

20 of the 599 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 651 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 578 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 11.9 hours; clearing it takes 117, which is 9.8 times the campaign.

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

What players say

Oddly addicting. Especially when you figure out how to change code. It is written in HTML so it is really easy.

The absolute worse UI/tooltip system I've ever encountered - trying to place a diagnostic room for surgery department, place all items in the room.... missing equipment apparently, would not register the patient exam bed thing whatsoever Absolute crap - needlessly overcomplicated
