# Lost In Space - The First Adventure

> ResidualPlay case file: an overlooked Steam game still earning residual revenue. Estimates carry a ±30-50% error range per title.

- Steam appid: 1320430
- Developer: Scary Robot
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Adventure · List price: $9.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $313 to $469 per month (mid $391)
- Opportunity score: $586/month at x1.50 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 832 · Est. lifetime net revenue: $2.8k
- Review sentiment: 80% positive across 30 reviews (26 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 4.7 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 12 months ago
- Last build shipped 6 months ago
- Store page localized in only 1 language(s)
- No Steam discount in 4.0 years (deepest tracked: -0%)

## Where a gross dollar goes (monthly, at current velocity)

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $709 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $617 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $559 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $391 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (6 months)

19, 5, 2, 0, 2, 0

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 3 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 6 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$293 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Estimated acquisition range

$9.4k to $18.8k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.7k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 96% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 100% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: english). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier (Boxleiter method, 20-75x by year). Revenue uses an effective price (lifetime discounts and regional pricing) and nets out VAT (~13%), refunds (~9.5%) and Steam's 30% cut: roughly 55% of gross reaches the developer.
