Why this score
No flagged mechanics — clean monetisation and design.

Ownership
This game is yours to keep
- Plays offline — no server dependency, so it can't be switched off remotely.
- Installing the Steam release takes a Steam account. Steam doesn't publish whether this title is otherwise DRM-free, so we can't confirm it runs standalone.
This describes the Steam release only — editions of the same game sold on other stores come with those stores' own terms.
Whether you keep what you paid for is its own question, separate from the score. How Sifter measures games →
