This chart displays the number of hours played in NaissanceE depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 3.9 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 76 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 NaissanceE and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
