Velocity

Confidence 6%

Confidence is the share of Velocity’s four components that could be measured for this game, scaled down again when there is less than a fortnight to measure over. Here, ratings had a measurable acceleration on 2026-09-07. Topic views and comments did not. We also have itch.io chart positions for it, which is the fourth component. It was observed on 4 of the last 14 days. How this is computed.

17 days

Not enough of the ladder to compare.

Only ratings could be plotted, so there is no second counter to compare the timing against.

Lead and lag for Kidnapped For A Date, 17 daysLead and lag over 17 days, 2026-08-22 to 2026-09-07, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. Not enough of the ladder to compare. Ratings: 110 to 124, up 14, the change came at a steady pace.100%50%0%Aug 22Sep 7Ratings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 17 days, so counters that differ by orders of magnitude can be compared by shape. The vertical gap is what matters: a line higher on the left took its change earlier. The real counts are in the legend, and the day-by-day numbers are below.

A blank change is not a zero: the scoring pass refuses a window whose nearest observation is too stale to compare, rather than differencing two points that are not seven days apart.

No devlog has been posted since we started watching on 2026-08-22. itch.io publishes only the most recent devlog date, so anything posted before then leaves no trace here.

We hold counters and metadata only. Nothing on the game’s own page — its description, its screenshots, its build — is republished here, and everything worth reading about it is behind those links.
