Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

A short visual novel blending yuri romance, light horror, and comedy with branching storylines and multiple endings.

Chasing Tails has built genuine affection in a tight niche audience (92% positive, 4,622 reviews, median 55/mo still arriving) and sustains $2.7k–3.3k/mo residual revenue 50 months post-launch with zero marketing spend. The game is dormant but not decaying; it performs exceptionally well at deep discounts (currently 85% off at $1.19), suggesting price elasticity that a revival campaign or modest localization could unlock. For a small publisher or revival-focused acquirer, this represents low-risk catalog income with existing IP ownership and a stable, passionate community. Most realistic play: revival.

Risk: VN genre remains small and seasonal; player reviews flag 'nothing special' and 'limited artwork' suggesting ceiling for organic growth.
Risk: One reviewer reports a crash (freeze unresponsive to input); bug reports or platform drift could harm retention if unaddressed.
Risk: Developer (The Last Evil Wizard) shows 'ghost' status with no posts for 42+ months; acquiring IP may require title search or dormant-rights clearance.
