Note written 2026-09-20; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

The Monitors is a Norwegian adventure title from indie studio Old Man Games, released in early 2025.

This is a micro-catalog acquisition target with strong early sentiment (95% positive) and modest but stable residual revenue. The game shows staying power despite minimal marketing footprint and zero concurrent players, suggesting word-of-mouth durability in a niche segment. Most interesting for a publisher seeking to build depth in overlooked indie adventure catalog or testing small-team acquisition workflows; the IP is original and unencumbered, but the title lacks multiplayer, social, or live-service hooks that would justify heavy investment. Most realistic play: watch.

• Risk: Zero current players and single-digit peak concurrent in the last 30 days signals the game has already matured past launch curiosity and may have reached its natural audience ceiling.
• Risk: No cloud save, achievements, or trading cards limits engagement vectors and reduces stickiness compared to peers.
• Risk: Studio is single-title at present; developer capacity or commitment to ongoing support or content is unproven.
