- Developer: Kamichichi
- Publisher: Kagura Games
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Casual · List price: $14.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $821 to $1.2k per month (mid $1.0k)
- Opportunity score: $1.9k/month at x1.90 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 12.4k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $62.1k
- Review sentiment: 93% positive across 435 reviews (386 from Steam purchases)

## Why it's flagged

- Last build shipped 19 months ago
- Store page localized in only 3 language(s)
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 12 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.9k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $1.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.5k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $1.0k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (18 months)

175, 42, 15, 18, 6, 11, 15, 12, 7, 34, 6, 10, 7, 8, 5, 8, 6, 15

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 2 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 18 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$3.0k net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Estimated acquisition range

$24.6k to $49.3k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $12.3k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- schinese: 89%
- brazilian: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)

## 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.
