Chart showing the monthly evolution of Bring to Light steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Bring to Light's Steam rating and reviews from July 2018 to March 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 86.6% (July 2018) and 68.4% (March 2023).

With 38 reviews, Bring to Light could be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it didn't take too long to produce. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

The negative reviews play time is 3.6 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 57 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 Bring to Light and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
