How much people want it
The anticipation index is where Steam places THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival in its own popular-upcoming ordering, which is driven by wishlist counts, rescaled to 0 to 100. It is tied to this game's store id, so it cannot be measuring a different thing. It is one signal and it is entirely about demand.
Search volume is Google Keyword Planner, average monthly searches for US, read on 30 August 2026. It sits beside the index rather than inside it. A title that is also an ordinary English phrase picks up searches that have nothing to do with the game, so we flag those rather than quietly counting them.
Why there is no review score here
Every quality ranking on this site is computed from how a game was received: player sentiment adjusted for sample size, the critic aggregate, and how many people the game reached. None of those exist for a game nobody has played. The anticipation figure above is popularity, and popularity before release is a measure of marketing and expectation, not of the game.
When THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival releases it enters the catalogue and is scored on exactly the same formula as everything else, with no adjustment for having been on this page.

Steam ranks it 84 of 478 in its popular-upcoming ordering, which is driven by wishlist counts. That gives it an anticipation index of 83 out of 100. This is a measure of how many people want it, not of whether it will be good, and there is no quality component in it at all.
