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

A licensed adventure game based on Hergé's Tintin comic series, released in 2023 by Pendulo Studios and Microids.

Tintin Reporter occupies a rare commercial position: a quality licensed IP title generating $912/mo in residual revenue with minimal ongoing support costs, yet trading at 58% positive reviews and showing modest engagement (5 peak players in 30d). The title has merited post-launch patches and holds a loyal niche audience that praises stability and value. For a publisher or studio seeking a low-risk evergreen catalog addition or a platform owner interested in bolstering adventure-game offerings, this represents a quiet earner with clear franchise legs if publisher commitment can be renewed. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Game depends on Tintin rights held by Hergé Foundation/Moulinsart; any revival or sequel requires licensing renewal and approval.
• Risk: 58% positive sentiment and 9,216 lifetime units suggest audience ceiling; mainstream appeal is limited despite quality patch work.
• Risk: Developer Pendulo Studios shows 'fading' status with zero posts in 12 months; long-term creative support may be unavailable.
