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

**Measured on 2026-09-28 16:20 UTC.** The whole Steam catalog is re-measured daily; a game that just launched can move a lot between passes.

- Steam appid: 4184190
- Developer: BadColor
- Publisher: Shady Corner Games
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Casual · List price: $3.99
- Deal grade: A (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $3.8k to $5.7k per month (mid $4.7k)
- Opportunity score: $6.1k/month at x1.30 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 5.8k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $7.7k
- Review sentiment: 90% positive across 148 reviews (144 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 141.1 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 0 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (3 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Store page localized in only 2 language(s)
- Last discounted 0 months ago, 1 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $8.6k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $7.5k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $6.7k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $4.7k |

## Estimated acquisition range

$113.3k to $226.6k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $56.6k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 72%
- koreana: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 18% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 5% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 28% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: russian). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier, 40-75x by year. Cohorts from 2020 on are calibrated against 182 sales milestones announced by developers; older ones follow the published Boxleiter tables. 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.
