Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This chart shows The Subject's Steam rating and reviews from November 2018 to December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 95.4% (January 2019) and 68.3% (May 2023).
With 61 reviews, The Subject might be a minor indie success if it was made quickly. 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.
Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows The Subject's review languages. The most popular language is English (79%), followed by Portuguese - Brazil (5%). There is diversity in the review languages, with 9 languages represented. The game has only one translation (English), it could have been more popular if it was translated in more languages.
Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in The Subject, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 9 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 3.2 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 87 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 The Subject and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
