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

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0

No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $12.99. That was December 2025. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 24 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 15 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fresh Start Cleaning Simulator ($9.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats OUTBRK ($34.99, scores 35).

21 of the 456 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 226 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 21 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 247 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.
