Note written 2026-08-22; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A cozy puzzle-platformer where players guide an adorable sentient mushroom home through whimsical forests filled with charming NPCs and environmental storytelling.

Smushi Come Home punches above its profile: 98.96% positive Steam reviews, strong post-launch engagement (70% still playing), and a tight 5.6-hour median playtime that signals focused design. At $2.4k/mo residual (mid estimate) against a $332k lifetime gross, the title shows legs in the cozy-adventure niche despite zero discounting strategy and a studio now in wind-down. The opportunity lies in republishing to underserved regional markets (especially Russian, Chinese localization gaps) or licensing the IP to larger publishers for console ports and merchandising, rather than acquisition of the dormant studio. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Mooneye Studios marked 'fading' with only one title; developer support and patches are unlikely, limiting long-term platform expansion.
• Risk: Cozy-game category saturation means sustained visibility requires active marketing; organic review velocity (19/mo) suggests minimal word-of-mouth lift post-launch.
• Risk: One review flagged camera clipping and UI issues; backlog of unfixed usability bugs may compound if ported to new platforms without remediation.
