# The Next Journey Of Life

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

- Steam appid: 3830780
- Developer: FOREVER GAME
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Casual · List price: $12.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $276 to $414 per month (mid $345)
- Opportunity score: $517/month at x1.50 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 4.7k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $20.6k
- Review sentiment: 64% positive across 150 reviews (148 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 3.2 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 4 months ago
- Last build shipped 4 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 | $626 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $545 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $493 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $345 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (10 months)

40, 68, 11, 6, 8, 1, 3, 1, 1, 5

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 6 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 10 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$5.0k 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

$8.3k to $16.6k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.1k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- koreana: 1%
- schinese: 99%

## 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.
