Review Languages

Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in Darkness Ahead, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 5 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 1.9 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 103 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 Darkness Ahead and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
