With 98 reviews, Ephesus could be a small indie success if it didn't take too long to produce. 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.

The negative reviews play time is 12 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 22 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?).

You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
