Note written 2026-08-23; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A 2021 top-down adventure about a grape protecting its island community through combat, farming, and crafting.

Garden Story generated $223k lifetime on 44.8k units with a solid 89% positive rating, but has dormant at 14 concurrent players post-launch. The $910/mo residual revenue and 7-review-per-month baseline suggest a quiet but stable install base. The opportunity lies in franchise extension, localization depth, or console porting rather than PC revival, though the IP ownership and studio status require clarity before any deal structuring. Most realistic play: licensing.

• Risk: Peak concurrent was 14 players; this is a single-player or very light-multiplayer title with no indication of re-engagement hooks, limiting growth ceiling.
• Risk: Developer studio status is listed as 'fading' with only one title; succession and IP custody post-acquisition are unclear.
• Risk: No cloud save, no workshop, no post-launch content pipeline visible (1 DLC only, 0 dev posts in past 34 months); revival would require new content strategy.
