- Review sentiment: 93% positive across 6442 reviews (6171 from Steam purchases)

- Studio quiet across its whole catalog
- Last build shipped 27 months ago

## Where a gross dollar goes (monthly, at current velocity)

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $7.2k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $6.3k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $5.7k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (24 months)

130, 178, 145, 169, 206, 113, 106, 131, 82, 86, 135, 106, 77, 85, 69, 64, 62, 70, 66, 68, 51, 34, 67, 63

## Estimated acquisition range

$95.6k to $191.3k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $47.8k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- spanish: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 9% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 3%
- schinese: 44%
- english: 34%
- koreana: 5% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 19% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: russian). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

A narrative-driven adult visual novel with minigame mechanics set in a dormitory environment, developed by HornyDoge and published by Mango Party.

Peeping Dorm Manager has generated $541k lifetime net revenue on 197k units at a $10.99 price point, with a 93% positive rating and steady $3,985/mo residual income despite zero marketing spend in the past 18 months. The title sits in a niche with high engagement (58 reviews/mo, avg 11h playtime), but developer silence and zero discounting strategy suggest either sustainable profitability or intentional dormancy. For a publisher seeking mature-audience catalog depth or a studio with community-management bandwidth, the opportunity lies in unlocking DLC demand signaled by players and closing a 19% Russian localization gap.

- Most realistic play: publishing
- Risk (market): Adult visual novel audience is narrow and platform-sensitive; iOS, console and regional restrictions limit expansion vectors.
- Risk (other): Developer studio status is listed as 'fading' with only one title; succession risk if key creators exit or publishing relationship dissolves.
- Risk (other): Content moderation exposure: sexual coercion themes flagged in reviews may trigger platform policy review or regional store removals.

What players are asking for:
- Substantial DLC and story expansion (explicit request from highest-playtime reviewer)
- Clearer quest/objective signposting to reduce mid-game friction
- Reduction or optional toggle for minigame padding relative to narrative payoff

Suggested first moves:
1. Audit IP ownership, localization rights and platform ToS compliance with legal; confirm no third-party content claims before acquisition or co-publishing offer.
2. Contact HornyDoge/Mango Party to assess developer interest in publishing support, DLC funding or outright acquisition; 18-month dev radio silence suggests openness.
3. Prototype a Russian voiceover + UI localization pass (19% loc gap, 446 Russian reviews) and DLC roadmap (story scenarios, gallery unlocks); A/B test pricing on existing audience via email to estimate lift.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier (Boxleiter method, 20-75x by year). Revenue uses an effective price (lifetime discounts and regional pricing) and nets out VAT (~13%), refunds (~9.5%) and Steam's 30% cut: roughly 55% of gross reaches the developer.
