Note written 2026-08-30; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Scottside is an early-access episodic narrative adventure blending sci-fi, mystery, and tabletop-RPG aesthetics with branching storytelling.

This is a micro-scale indie title with exceptional review sentiment (96%+ positive) and an engaged Russian-speaking player base, but it carries significant execution risk as a solo-developer project in very early access with only one episode live. The residual revenue is modest yet consistent, and the opportunity cost of waiting for future episodes to launch is real. Relevant primarily to publishers seeking to support emerging creators or to revival specialists betting on continued momentum. Most realistic play: publishing.

Risk: Solo developer and very early-stage build (0.2 months old) create dependency and production-velocity risk; no track record of shipping episodic content on schedule.
Risk: Episodic narrative games face player-churn risk between releases; without a published roadmap, future episode timelines are opaque.
Risk: Community discourse touches on AI-assisted asset creation; positioning and transparency around tooling may affect organic word-of-mouth and platform relations.
