Chart displaying The Franz Kafka Videogame percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in The Franz Kafka Videogame, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 5 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 1.6 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 125 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 The Franz Kafka Videogame and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
