Note written 2026-08-25; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.
Chasing Tails is a short visual novel with choice-driven branching paths, character romance options, and light horror aesthetics, centered on anthropomorphic characters.
This title demonstrates sustained, quiet residual revenue across a mid-sized owner base with exceptionally strong sentiment (92%+ positive), yet the developer studio is inactive and no updates have shipped in over 40 months. The game's modest but steady monthly earnings and loyal niche community (yuri and furry demographics) suggest it could sustain as a backlist title under active publishing stewardship, though its small concurrent playerbase and lack of live development present a revival challenge. Best suited for a publisher seeking low-risk catalog depth or a studio looking to acquire a stable, self-funding dormant IP with clear audience goodwill. Most realistic play: acquisition.
- Risk: Reported crashes and input freezes in player feedback; no patches in 42+ months means platform updates may have introduced stability regressions.
- Risk: Niche audience (visual novel, yuri, anthropomorphic romance) limits mainstream growth potential and makes acquisition ROI dependent on maintaining existing regional discovery.
- Risk: Developer studio is inactive (no posts in 42+ months, studio status flagged); acquirer must accept sole responsibility for support, marketing and any future content.
