- Developer: Noham Games
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Simulation · List price: $12.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $593 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $516 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $467 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (17 months)

22, 9, 12, 13, 6, 4, 2, 2, 1, 11, 1, 6, 5, 3, 1, 2, 1

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 9 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 17 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$3.4k 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

$7.8k to $15.7k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.9k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 77%
- russian: 8%
- schinese: 2%
- brazilian: 2%
- french: 3%
- german: 8%

## 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.
