How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“Order 13 by Cybernetic Walrus is a fresh and original horror game that combines elements of warehouse simulation with psychological terror and a powerful emotional impact. The story is shrouded in mystery, the monsters are terrifying, the cat is adorable, and the gameplay is challenging yet satisfying. If you’re looking for a horror game that breaks the mold and can surprise you, Order 13 is a great choice. Get ready for dark nights filled with fear and hard work. And don’t forget, you never know what’s lurking in the shadows of the warehouse.”

“The game blends the monotony of repetitive work with an oppressive atmosphere and growing psychological terror. The player finds themselves in the role of a solitary worker inside a mysterious distribution center, with only the company of their loyal cat. The task is simple: retrieve and ship packages. But as the shift progresses, it becomes more evident that something dark is lurking between the shelves.”

“I’ve never played a game like Order 13, and with horror and simulation being some of my favourite genres, it made this game a truly terrific and enjoyable experience. Audio was the star of the show, but I found every element to be exceptional. I’m hopeful Order 13 will continue to be updated and have me making my way back to the warehouse.”

“ORDER 13 is a bite-sized horror game that will have you on edge as you try to keep your cute cat alive and strict quotas fulfilled. Cute, scary, and challenging, it's definitely worth a try.”

“Order 13 is a striking title within the contemporary indie horror genre. By choosing a distribution center as a location and basing the gameplay on everyday warehouse tasks, the game creates a unique combination of routine and threat. The creepy atmosphere, the good sound design and the subtle build-up of tension make it an interesting experience for lovers of indie horror and cats.”

“Order 13 is both a horror game and a simulator. While I think it nails the horror environment for the most part, it falls short on the simulator aspect. It's still a fun time, but it has issues that become more apparent as you play, but it ends before any of them become a major issue. Even the cat, while cute, could be fleshed out a bit more too. While I was hoping it would do more, I still had fun and don't regret the hours I gave it.”

“Honestly, after completing ORDER 13, I was disappointed. There was no set-up, no story as you journey deeper into the warehouse. And even worse, the actual ending of the game doesn’t exist. ORDER 13’s store page says there is a mystery to uncover, but it was non-existent in the game. The warehouse didn’t seem to change when I died, and the only things that are truly random are the orders you receive. The cat, whose happiness we have to maintain, has no reason for being there either. I wish I could have spoken more positively about the game, but there really isn’t anything in the game worth mentioning or that stands out. And anything positive was I’ve already said in the graphics & audio. Sadly, I’m gonna have to give it the Thumb Culture Bronze Award.”

“Order 13 offers a creative horror experience that just slightly misses the mark when it comes to the final execution. If you treat it as an eerie warehouse simulator where your main goal is packing boxes (and occasionally spoiling your pet cat), the core gameplay loop is undeniably satisfying. However, if you are strictly looking for a terrifying survival horror experience with a clever narrative to go along with the scares, the repetitive enemy encounters and lack of a satisfying conclusion will definitely leave you wanting more. It is a fun and short distraction that is well worth a look for the novelty alone, but it just runs out of steam a little too quickly to make it essential playing for fans of the horror genre.”

“Aside from my issues with simulator sickness, Order 13 was an alright game. It’s designed with streamers and their audience in mind, so it’s not really geared towards people like me. That doesn’t mean it’s not fun to play outside the streaming sphere as it holds its own and the core loop is good, it’s just very obviously meant for the horror streamers. I don’t blame them, because honestly, if that’s what helps them sell the game, good on them. Conclusion. Game okay. Not great, not terrible. Good for streaming. The end.”

“Order 13’s fulfilment centre horror is a fantastic concept for a video game, but it doesn't take particularly long for the tension to be lost.”
