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

A 2D pixel-art adventure game with puzzle and combat elements, released in 2022.

Mago has quietly accumulated $111k lifetime revenue with a 93% positive rating and strong community sentiment (88.5% recent positivity), yet sits dormant with zero developer communication in 38 months. The high elasticity (1.82) and active discount strategy (10 promotions in 12 months, currently 65% off) suggest price-sensitive positioning works, but the title needs creative direction beyond discounting to unlock its ~1.6k/mo opportunity ceiling. Relevant for publishers seeking a polished, well-reviewed indie catalog piece with proven player appeal and minimal ongoing support burden. Most realistic play: publishing.

  • Risk: Developer studio appears inactive (no posts in 38 months, 'ghost' status flag); any revival requires IP rights negotiation or acquisition of the studio.
  • Risk: Controller remapping issues noted by players; platform-specific bugs may require engineering triage before any push.
  • Risk: Tiny concurrent player base (7 now, 12 peak last 30 days) and zero organic review momentum (7/mo, no year-over-year growth) indicate limited discovery or retention leverage.
