Note written 2026-08-25; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A cozy, location-based cleaning simulator where players restore polluted environments across global landmarks while interacting with cute animals.

Fresh Start occupies a quiet but profitable niche in the cozy-game market, generating solid four-figure monthly residuals with a loyal audience (87% positive, 65% still-playing rate). The title has not received developer support in nearly 19 months, yet player churn remains low and discount sensitivity is high, suggesting the catalog is undermonetized. Acquisition could unlock value through modest live-ops (cosmetics, seasonal maps) or a patient revival strategy; the core loop is proven and the art direction consistently praised. Best fit is a mid-sized publisher seeking low-risk, high-retention catalog depth in the wellness/relaxation vertical. Most realistic play: acquisition.

• Risk: Player reports note CPU/GPU thermal issues on lower-end hardware; optimization debt may limit addressability of broader audiences.
• Risk: Cozy-game category has grown crowded since 2022; discoverability friction may require paid user-acquisition support to sustain baseline revenue.
• Risk: Developer has made five titles total with no recent community engagement; IP ownership clarity and source-code access will require careful due diligence.
