Darklands (Steam Game) 
Deep in the twilight of the Black Forest, you and your companions crouch before the robber-knight's tower. Hans, the alchemist, places his mysterious potion by the door. Ebhard the friar implores Saint Dunstan to bless your weapons and armor. And you and Gretchen grip naked long swords, praying your plate mail won't squeak.

The negative reviews play time is 17 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 44 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 Darklands and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
