Note written 2026-08-25; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Until They Burn is a short indie horror game focused on jump scares and tension in a creepy setting.

This title shows strong early engagement (93% positive, 19.5 reviews/month) despite zero promotional activity in 12 months and minimal player retention. The core audience finds it effective within its narrow scope, but the $4.99 price point and sub-2-hour runtime create friction for conversion. Relevant for publishers seeking low-cost horror catalog additions or revival-campaign testing, especially given Korean market interest (10 reviews in Korean). Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Median playtime of 1.3 hours and zero current players suggest limited replay value; retention cliff post-campaign poses ROI risk.
• Risk: Studio has only 2 titles and no web presence; long-term support and update responsiveness unknown.
