How this page counts

The hours
Half of its Steam reviewers had played 3 hours or less when they gave their verdict. The middle half sat between 1 hour and 5.5 hours. One bead is 1% of its Steam reviews, standing at the hours its author had played. Counted from about 9,150 Steam reviews, by the hours each author had played when they wrote theirs. It is not a time to beat.
The price
At Steam's US list price of $4.99, the typical player's 3 hours come to $1.66 an hour. Past the two-hour refund window, 98% of its Steam reviewers recommend it. At $1.66 an hour, Kind Words is cheaper per hour than 464 of 668 casual games here: the typical one of 668 casual games here charges $2.31, so the same $4.99 buys 1.4× the hours. 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 (casual games) is named by its strongest Steam tags, a narrow kind before a wide one, 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.
Everyone's copy
Counted from the Steam libraries read here, not from all of Steam's players.
The crystal ball
It reads the Steam library you give it: the games you own that are like this one, by the same measure as the shelf of games like it, and your hours on each against the typical player's. It glows when most of them kept you past the typical player and dims when most lost you before half of them. It never gives a score: a library says little about a game that the game's own players have not already said. Nothing of the library is kept.
Games like it
The same series first, then the games sharing the most of its strongest Steam tags, genres and themes, the ones of a similar typical length ahead. Each case wears the hours its own page leads with.
