- Developer: Hoochoo Game Studios
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Action · List price: $9.99
- Deal grade: D (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $246 to $368 per month (mid $307)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $557 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $485 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $439 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $307 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (19 months)

64, 24, 14, 12, 11, 3, 14, 46, 17, 5, 18, 22, 5, 7, 2, 8, 1, 3, 1

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 5 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 19 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$4.1k net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- brazilian: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 31%
- koreana: 40%
- russian: 5% (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.
