83% of the players who launched Keep Digging hold [Ver1.0] Gold Layer, its first story achievement on Steam, and 27% hold [Ver1.0] Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, its last. The steepest drop comes between [Ver1.0] Orichalcum Layer (69%) and [Ver1.0] Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (27%).

Steam's global achievement stats count everyone who ever launched the game, people still playing included. They are not a finish rate. The filter is the steepest drop between two story achievements; the players who never reached the first one barely started, and are never the filter.

How this is counted

At Steam's US list price of $6.99, the typical player's 3 hours come to $2.33 an hour. Past the two-hour refund window, 87% of its Steam reviewers recommend it. An hour of Keep Digging costs about what the typical one of 9395 Steam games here charges $2.22.

The price is Steam's US list price for the game by itself: not a sale price, a bundle or what anyone paid. The hours are the ones its reviewers had played, not a time to beat. Its kind (Steam games) is what the game is first, as a model that knows games named it once from a list of Steam's kinds (for a game it did not know, its strongest Steam tags name it), among the kinds with at least 20 priced games here; failing that, by its Steam genre. The going rate is the middle hourly cost of those games, and the receipt prices its typical hours at it. The words beside it compare it with its kind: loved is 90% recommending it or more, liked 80%, mixed 65%; it gets played when a quarter fewer of the owners read here never launched it than of its kind's typical game. Whether it holds up is drawn on the hours road above, and counts toward the one-word answer.

Would you like Keep Digging?

Give the ball your Steam profile link or name. It reads the games you own most like Keep Digging, how long each held you against the typical player, and how long Keep Digging would take you. Public profiles only. No account needed, and no library is saved.

How this is counted

It reads how long you tend to stay: across every game you've played whose typical hours it knows (free games left out), how often you went past the typical player and how often you left before half their hours. It glows when you often stay past them, dims when you often leave early, and needs five played games to read at all. Then it shows the games you own most like this one, by the same measure as the shelf of games like it, each with your hours against the typical player's.

Why not a forecast for this game: on 36,766 Steam libraries, how a player did on games like one told little beyond how long they stay in games at all, so those games are shown as evidence and never scored. Nothing of the library is kept.

How this is counted

Its own series apart, where it plays alike; then the games sharing the most of its strongest Steam tags, genres and themes, the better known ahead among the about as alike. A model that knows games read the list once: the ones it said do not play like this game are left out, the closest come first. Under each name, what sets it apart from Keep Digging: a kind of game it is that Keep Digging is not, a feature its tags carry that Keep Digging's barely do, how many hours people play it, how its reviewers feel. Each case wears the hours its own page leads with.
