Note written 2026-09-08; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

PARQUET is a 2021 visual novel from NekoNyan about an amnesiac protagonist discovering humanity through relationships with two women.

This title maintains a solid residual revenue stream of $466/mo despite minimal marketing activity and a fading studio. The game achieved a respectable lifetime net and retains a strong positive ratio (95%), suggesting genuine player attachment to its narrative. However, the dormant developer (no posts in 31 months), thin current player base (1 concurrent), and lack of post-launch support make it a revival candidate rather than an acquisition: any buyer would need to evaluate whether the licensed-IP status and niche visual-novel audience justify reviving community engagement or porting to emerging platforms. Most realistic play: watch.

  • Risk: Visual novel genre has softened on Steam; mainstream appeal remains limited despite positive reviews.
  • Risk: Developer silent for 31+ months; no clarity on engine maintenance, localization completeness (11.8% English gap detected), or platform expansion readiness.
  • Risk: Studio status flagged as fading with only one title in catalog; unclear whether IP, code or community assets are actively stewarded.
