# D.C. Re:tune

> ResidualPlay case file: an overlooked Steam game still earning residual revenue. Estimates carry a ±30-50% error range per title.

- Steam appid: 3287600
- Developer: CIRCUS
- Publisher: Bushiroad Inc.
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Adventure · List price: $59.99
- Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $2.3k to $3.5k per month (mid $2.9k)
- Opportunity score: $2.9k/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 1.1k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $22.5k
- Review sentiment: 62% positive across 37 reviews (35 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 5.8 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 5 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (2 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 5 months ago
- Store page localized in only 4 language(s)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $5.3k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $4.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $4.2k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $2.9k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (6 months)

20, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2

## Markets by review language

- english: 13%
- spanish: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 23% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 60%

Localization gap: 27% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: japanese). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## 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.
