# Life of Fly

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

- Developer: EpiXR Games UG
- Released: 2020 · Genre: Casual · List price: $14.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $322 to $483 per month (mid $403)
- Opportunity score: $745/month at x1.85 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 840 · Est. lifetime net revenue: $2.7k
- Review sentiment: 94% positive across 32 reviews (28 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 5.0 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer silent for 23 months
- Studio active elsewhere (16 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 6.0 years ago
- Store page localized in only 1 language(s)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $731 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $636 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $576 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $403 |

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

28, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0

## Estimated acquisition range

$9.7k to $19.3k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.8k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 32% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 68% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 100% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: russian). 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.
