Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

MADiSON is a first-person puzzle-horror game with atmosphere-driven scares and non-linear exploration, released in 2022 by solo developer BLOODIOUS GAMES.

A quietly profitable indie horror title generating $5.8k-$7k/mo residual revenue on 95k lifetime sales and strong community sentiment (87% positive). The game has been dormant for 34 months with no developer updates, yet continues to move units and retain player interest across 15 languages. Most relevant for a publisher seeking to revive a stable, low-risk catalog entry through seasonal sales, DLC, or a sequel pitch; less relevant for direct acquisition since the developer remains active and the IP is not licensed third-party property. Most realistic play: revival.

Risk: No developer communication in 34 months suggests the team may lack bandwidth for bug fixes, platform updates, or engine maintenance if technical debt accumulates.
Risk: Puzzle-heavy horror is a narrow genre; appeal peaks during Q4 and seasonal discount windows, and the last major sale was 9.7 months ago.
Risk: Developer lists only one title and shows 'fading' status; bankruptcy, burnout, or IP lock-up could prevent future development or collaboration.
