Note written 2026-08-24; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A 2023 indie transit simulator from KishMish Games with minimal active engagement but steady residual revenue.

Metro Simulator 2 generated $79k lifetime on 21k units and currently produces $938/mo residual income, suggesting a modest but durable audience. The 64% positive rating and 71% still-playing rate indicate core retention, though peak concurrent players (9 in last 30 days) and one English review sample reflect dormant visibility. For a small publisher or revival-focused studio, the low acquisition cost and Russian-language strength (527 of 661 reviews) could justify reactivation via marketing or a console port; the 10 promotions in 12 months and recent 80% discount suggest price elasticity (1.48) that may be underexploited. Most realistic play: revival.

• Risk: Niche simulator genre with weak English-language presence; Russian audience dominance may limit Western expansion.
• Risk: Developer silent for 23 months; unclear if studio remains engaged with title support or marketing.
• Risk: Median playtime of 3 hours suggests limited depth or replay value, which could constrain growth under revival.
