Note written 2026-08-31; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A sci-fi visual novel about romance with customizable alien plant lifeforms, built on strong art direction and narrative branching.

TELLURICENE shows quiet but consistent performance from a niche visual-novel audience: solid mid-four-figure monthly residuals, perfect review sentiment, and a 42% still-playing rate suggest durable engagement despite minimal player count. The game is a first title from a newly-formed studio with only one previous release, making it a candidate for catalog acquisition or gentle revival marketing, particularly in regions beyond English (loc_gap at 100% signals untapped localization upside). However, the one-person current player base and modest lifetime reach mean any play must be low-cost and long-term. Most realistic play: revival.

Risk: Extremely small active audience (peak 30d of 4 players) and zero current engagement metrics suggest difficulty in organic discovery; audience discovery costs may exceed residual revenue.
Risk: No cloud save, no Steam achievements, and no workshop integration limit player retention and post-launch engagement hooks.
Risk: Studio has only one title in catalog (this game) and last developer post was under a month ago; unclear if DEADline Studios can sustain future support or has bandwidth for coordinated revival.
