With its 25 reviews Bottom 35%, Epidemic might be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it was made in a short amount of time. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

This doughnut chart shows Epidemic's review languages. The most popular language is Simplified Chinese (88%), followed by English (12%). The player's languages are not very diversified, with only 2 different languages appearing in the reviews. The game has 2 translations (English and Simplified Chinese), it's always good to have more translations to access other markets.

This chart displays the time played in Epidemic depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time in game is not bad at all, with 17 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 1.9 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 120 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Epidemic and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
