Note written 2026-09-16; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

BELOW is a top-down roguelike dungeon crawler with heavy exploration and instant-death mechanics from Capybara Games.

BELOW maintains steady residual revenue at solid three-figure monthly levels despite minimal recent promotion or developer activity, suggesting a durable core audience that tolerates high friction. The title's low current player count and absence of discounts in 12 months indicate the studio has deprioritized it, making acquisition or light publishing intervention plausible for a buyer seeking quiet, profitable catalog depth. Caveat: the game's deliberate difficulty and permadeath design inherently repel mainstream audiences, capping upside. Most realistic play: acquisition.

• Risk: Harsh difficulty and long penalty walkbacks deter casual players; sentiment skews polarized between enthusiasts (70%+ positive) and lapsed players citing tedium.
• Risk: Build is ~71 months old with no dev communication in ~78 months; engine and dependency drift risk if revival requires meaningful updates.
• Risk: Capybara Games shows fading studio status and two-title catalog; acquisition may include unwanted overhead or require IP carve-out.
