Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
Here you can see Gone Viral's Steam rating and reviews between September 2020 and October 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 100% (September 2020) to 79.4% (October 2023).
Considering the 68 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Gone Viral could be a small indie success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.
Review Languages
This donut graph displays the languages of Gone Viral's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (69%), followed by Simplified Chinese (13%). The player's languages are well diversified, with 10 different languages appearing in the reviews. The game is translated in 7 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.
Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Gone Viral depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. 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 median play time for the negative reviews is 3.2 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 92 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 Gone Viral and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
