# Victor's Test Night: REVES

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

- Steam appid: 3513480
- Developer: 727 Not Hound
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Indie · List price: $7.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $304 to $455 per month (mid $380)
- Opportunity score: $512/month at x1.35 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 1.1k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $3.0k
- Review sentiment: 97% positive across 35 reviews (35 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 5.7 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer silent for 14 months
- Studio active elsewhere (4 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 14 months ago
- Store page localized in only 2 language(s)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $689 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $599 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $543 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $380 |

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

21, 5, 2, 3, 1, 2

## Estimated acquisition range

$9.1k to $18.2k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.6k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- koreana: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 86%
- schinese: 11% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 14% 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 (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.
