Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of The Unwelcomed steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This graph shows The Unwelcomed's Steam rating and reviews between October 2016 and January 2022. Steam's rating is varying from 100% (December 2016) to 73.8% (January 2022).

With its 42 reviews, The Unwelcomed might be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it was made in a short amount of time. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in The Unwelcomed, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time played is decent, reaching 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 2.2 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 139 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 The Unwelcomed 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.
