Note written 2026-08-26; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A point-and-click adventure set in a noir detective story where you manipulate time to solve crimes.

Crime O'Clock has earned solid residual revenue on a modest install base and maintains a respectable positive score despite zero promotional push in 12 months. The game sits in a quiet but profitable zone, suitable for a patient publishing partner or small-studio acquisition play if the developer's IP rights are clear and the studio's dormancy doesn't signal deeper problems. Publisher Maximum Entertainment retains a light touch here, creating an opening for revival through seasonal campaigns or bundling into adventure collections. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Niche point-and-click adventure with mid-single-digit concurrent players; expansion to mainstream awareness will be difficult without substantial marketing spend.
• Risk: Developer studio flagged as fading with only this single title in catalog and no development posts in 25 months, raising questions about post-acquisition support and roadmap viability.
• Risk: Built 36 months ago with zero workshop support and minimal localization gap; technical debt and platform drift risk are real if left unserviced.
