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

A narrative adventure game set in the Homestuck universe, focused on character interaction and story progression across alien worlds.

HIVESWAP: ACT 2 generates $661/mo residual revenue with stable 87% positive sentiment despite minimal marketing post-launch. The IP moat is strong (Homestuck's devoted 20-year-old community), but the title is effectively dormant on Steam, last discounted 0.8 months ago, with only 3 concurrent players. Acquisition makes sense only if bundled with act 1 and leveraged for act 3 marketing or IP licensing; standalone, it's a watch-and-hold for a publisher who owns the broader Homestuck catalog. Most realistic play: licensing.

• Risk: Game is built on third-party Homestuck IP (likely owned by Andrew Hussie or associated rights holders); acquisition of the game title alone does not grant IP control or future expansion rights.
• Risk: Only 3 players active now, though 86% positive sentiment on 1,197 total reviews suggests franchise loyalty rather than organic discovery; growth depends entirely on Homestuck community engagement, not retail reach.
• Risk: No cloud save, no trading cards, no workshop; minimal platform integration limits modern audience expectations and discoverability.
