Note written 2026-08-24; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Adult-oriented RPG Maker visual novel hybrid with branching corruption mechanics and character romance routes, developed by ONEONE1 and published by Kagura Games.

Ideology in Friction generated $356k lifetime on 66k units with 87% positive sentiment, but sits dormant with only 4 concurrent players and 3-year developer silence. The title's niche appeal, 11 discounts in 12 months, and narrow gameplay scope limit upside; however, its $638/mo residual, paid DLC infrastructure, and strong narrative reception suggest stable evergreen catalog value for a publisher willing to light-touch stewardship (seasonal sales, community posts, modest sequel exploration). Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Niche adult content and visual-novel hybrid design inherently limit addressable audience; elasticity of -1 suggests poor price sensitivity.
• Risk: Developer (ONEONE1) inactive for 36+ months with zero studio posts in past year; revival or support requires external investment.
• Risk: RPG Maker engine; aging codebase may incur porting or modernization cost if mobile or console expansion is intended.
