The negative reviews play time is 4.8 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 86 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 ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Melody's Escape and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
