# A Simple Garbage Sorting Game

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

- Steam appid: 3384180
- Developer: KK Studio
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Adventure · List price: $0.99
- Deal grade: D (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $18 to $27 per month (mid $22)
- Opportunity score: $22/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 5.2k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $1.7k
- Review sentiment: 96% positive across 179 reviews (164 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 2.7 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 11 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (2 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 11 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 4 sales in the last 12 months
- Proven demand elasticity: x3.2 review velocity during past deep sales

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $40 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $35 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $32 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $22 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (19 months)

60, 26, 17, 3, 0, 10, 10, 3, 6, 6, 5, 4, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 3

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 3 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 19 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$82 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.2 taken from this game's own sale history. Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## 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.
