Note written 2026-08-22; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

The Tenants is a casual management sim where players design rental properties and manage tenant interactions across a grid-based apartment system.

The Tenants has generated $1.1M lifetime revenue with 225K units sold and maintains $2.2K/mo residual income despite zero promotional activity in 12 months and minimal developer engagement (last post 14 months ago). The 78.9% positive review score masks a sharp 14-point sentiment decline and recurring complaints about UI/UX friction, save-state bugs, and tedium that suggest the game is playable but unpolished. Revival angle is strongest if core systems can be stabilized; acquisition makes sense only if EndGameLoop's two-title catalog and workshop community (1,093 mods) justify the bundle. Most realistic play: revival.

• Risk: Multiple player reports of tutorial softlocks, save-game corruption, and NPC pathfinding failures suggest unresolved engine or state-management bugs that could resurface at scale.
• Risk: Sentiment has dropped 14 points despite stable residual revenue, indicating a silent churn problem among new players hitting friction early; median playtime of 25 hours suggests players either stick (45% still active) or abandon fast.
• Risk: Developer inactive for 14 months; no posts, zero discounts, no content updates may signal resource constraints or internal pivots that complicate handoff.
