Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

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

A 2024 action platformer where you play a bloodthirsty cat on a hover-blade fighting absurdist enemies with fast-paced combat and dark humor.

Gori is a genuine hidden gem: 95.8% positive reviews, $292k lifetime net revenue on modest visibility, and players consistently cite sharp mechanics, distinctive art direction, and successful comedic tone. With 45k lifetime units and $3.7k/mo residual at present, the title punches above its weight for a first-party AA project from a 3-title studio. The opportunity lies in licensing the IP for merchandising (the cat protagonist has strong visual identity) or green-lighting a larger sequel with publisher backing, rather than acquisition alone. Most realistic play: licensing.

  • Risk: Action platformers remain a crowded segment; growth will depend entirely on marketing reach and franchise expansion beyond the core game.
  • Risk: Current player base is tiny (9 concurrent, 16 peak 30d), signaling the game never achieved mainstream penetration despite critical quality.
  • Risk: Reviews mention 'graphical issues'; long-term maintenance and port readiness (console, mobile) are unclear.
