Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

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

A 2017 first-person horror walking simulator from Wales Interactive about summoning a supernatural entity through a knock-based ritual.

Don't Knock Twice carries solid residual revenue (low-to-mid three figures monthly) on a modest lifetime base, with moderate positive sentiment among those who played. The 71% positive rate and 16-language localization suggest appeal in specific horror niches, especially Russian and Brazilian markets. This is a quiet catalog hold rather than an acquisition target, unless a publisher seeks to bundle it into a horror anthology or refresh its aging storefront presence with fresh community events or a limited revival campaign. Most realistic play: watch.

  • Risk: Median session is under 2 hours; player retention and repeat engagement are minimal, limiting expansion potential.
  • Risk: No developer activity in nearly a year and zero promotions run in the past 12 months suggest the title is in maintenance mode.
  • Risk: Review volume has stabilized at negligible levels; organic discovery and word-of-mouth are effectively exhausted.
