Review Languages
This doughnut graph shows Black Forest's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (76%), followed by Portuguese - Brazil (4%).

The game has been translated in only one language (English), it's always good to have more translations to access other markets.
Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Black Forest, comparing positive and negative reviews. You can also see the reviews during the Early Access phase. The time played is decent, reaching 13 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 7 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 36 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 Black Forest and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
