Note written 2026-08-22; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A hand-crafted point-and-click puzzle adventure from Czech indie auteur Amanita Design, built on surreal visual design and integrated sound mechanics.

Samorost 3 generates $3.5k/mo residual revenue on a nine-year-old title with 93.6% positive sentiment and a franchise pedigree that pulls casual and narrative-focused players. The game is not mainstream, but it occupies a defensible niche: players cite aesthetic cohesion and emotional resonance alongside puzzle design. For a publisher seeking catalog depth in adventure/indie genres or a studio looking to expand a quiet IP, this title merits review. Amanita Design remains actively developed (post 4.4 months ago) and retains ownership. Most realistic play: publishing.

Risk: Peak 30-day players at 9 suggests the active base is micro; growth via marketing will face elasticity headwinds (elasticity 1.4) and mainstream indifference.
Risk: No workshop or mod support; longevity entirely dependent on developer updates, which occur infrequently (3 posts in past year).
Risk: Median playtime 7.1 hours and 30% still-playing rate imply most buyers complete and exit; monetization upside limited absent DLC expansion or franchise extension.
