Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Self Shot steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Self Shot's Steam rating and reviews from June 2019 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 90% (March 2020) to 78.9% (December 2023).

Considering the 95 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Self Shot could be a small indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.
