Analyst notes (AI-assisted)
Note written 2026-08-25; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.
A 2015 remake of the original Oddworld platformer, blending puzzle-solving, stealth and dark comedy in a hand-animated side-scroller.
New 'n' Tasty remains a steady, if quiet, revenue generator: ~$595/mo residual, 85% positive sentiment, and a median playtime of 14.6 hours suggests genuine player satisfaction with the core experience. The franchise is owned by Oddworld Inhabitants (the publisher here), so acquisition is not viable, but the game represents a stable catalog asset with modest ongoing demand and potential for modest revival via cross-promotion or bundle plays tied to the franchise's recent resurgence elsewhere. Most realistic play: watch.
- Risk: Down to 5 current players and 15 over the last 30 days; the 12-month discount cadence (4 promotions) suggests publisher is managing discounting conservatively to protect brand positioning rather than driving volume.
- Risk: Developer (Just Add Water) last posted 112.8 months ago; no workshop support or recent updates signal low ongoing maintenance.
- Risk: Oddworld Inhabitants' studio status is marked fading with only 2 titles in catalog; long-term support and sequel ambition may be limited.
