# Cosmic Fear

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

**Measured on 2026-09-11 16:14 UTC.** The whole Steam catalog is re-measured daily; a game that just launched can move a lot between passes.

- Steam appid: 3306920
- Developer: Alessandro Guzzo
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Adventure · List price: $19.99
- Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $4.5k to $6.7k per month (mid $5.6k)
- Opportunity score: $5.6k/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 1.4k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $9.7k
- Review sentiment: 83% positive across 41 reviews (36 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 33.4 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 0 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (3 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 0 months ago
- Last discounted 0 months ago, 1 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $10.1k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $8.8k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $8.0k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $5.6k |

## Markets by review language

- french: 9%
- english: 62%
- russian: 9%
- japanese: 3%
- schinese: 15% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 3%

Localization gap: 15% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier, 40-75x by year. Cohorts from 2020 on are calibrated against 182 sales milestones announced by developers; older ones follow the published Boxleiter tables. 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.
