# HONG KONG HAUNTING: FISHBALL GIRL

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

- Steam appid: 3609760
- Developer: Dokimoment Studio
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Indie · List price: $6.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $273 to $410 per month (mid $342)
- Opportunity score: $632/month at x1.85 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 1.1k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $2.6k
- Review sentiment: 65% positive across 37 reviews (34 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 5.8 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer silent for 12 months
- Last build shipped 11 months ago
- Store page localized in only 4 language(s)
- No Steam discount in 4.0 years (deepest tracked: -0%)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $621 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $540 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $489 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $342 |

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

30, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 3 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 6 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$59 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Estimated acquisition range

$8.2k to $16.4k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.1k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 36%
- russian: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 56%

## 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.
