Forged in the Beginning and protected by the Seven Seals, there lies a place where thought and creation intertwine. The center for all realms of existence, it is the balancing force between good and evil, man and spirit. A focal point for all energies, and the one element that has kept the consuming nature of darkness at bay... Until now.

Time Played

Chart displaying Realms of the Haunting percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in Realms of the Haunting depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is not bad at all, with 15 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 13 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 15 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 Realms of the Haunting and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
