Note written 2026-09-19; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A literary point-and-click horror adventure with strong atmospheric writing and character-driven narrative, released in early 2025.

Carnival shows early signs of a boutique hit: perfect Steam reviews, strong narrative DNA (developer is a writer), and growing residual income despite zero promotional discounting. The title has found its niche audience and is still accumulating reviews at a steady pace. This is an acquisition candidate if the goal is to inherit a reliable, low-maintenance catalog entry with IP owned outright, or a publishing play if Beyond Booleans seeks distribution expansion or localization support (currently English-only, with Spanish-speaking players requesting the game in their language). Most realistic play: acquisition.

• Risk: Point-and-click horror is a niche genre; audience growth may plateau once the core demographic is saturated.
• Risk: Developer studio shows only two titles to date; unproven track record on sustained catalog growth or post-launch support.
• Risk: No cloud save, no trading cards, and no workshop integration suggest a minimal feature set that may limit engagement loops.
