Note written 2026-09-10; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Floodland is a post-apocalyptic city-builder where players manage rival clans and political factions in a flooded world.

A niche simulation with solid lifetime revenue and engaged core players, but technical stability issues and a 38-month dev absence signal the project is functionally dormant. The clan-politics mechanic showed enough player interest to warrant consideration only if a new operator can address corruption bugs and resume active support; otherwise, the title's modest residuals will continue eroding. Best suited for a publisher seeking a low-risk back-catalog hold with minimal development outlay, or a studio willing to invest in stabilization. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Multiple reports of save-file corruption on game closure, a critical blocker that likely drives churn and negative reviews despite favorable campaign feedback.
• Risk: Median playtime sits at just over 10 hours; limited replayability perception may cap lifetime value even if bugs are fixed.
• Risk: Developer has posted no updates in nearly 39 months; studio status flagged as fading, and a two-DLC catalog suggests minimal post-launch roadmap commitment.
