# Enjoy Amoy&Sisters

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

- Steam appid: 4258390
- Developer: Choice Studio
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Adventure · List price: $4.99
- Deal grade: A (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $10.9k to $16.4k per month (mid $13.6k)
- Opportunity score: $20.5k/month at x1.50 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 29.5k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $49.4k
- Review sentiment: 97% positive across 923 reviews (922 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 326.0 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 5 months ago
- Last build shipped 5 months ago
- Store page localized in only 2 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 | $24.8k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $21.5k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $19.5k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $13.6k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (3 months)

967, 8, 3

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 2 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 3 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$230 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

$327.3k to $654.6k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $163.6k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- schinese: 99% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 1%

Localization gap: 99% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

A story-driven adventure set in Xiamen featuring two sisters, built for Chinese-language players with minimal localization.

Enjoy Amoy & Sisters has generated $49k lifetime revenue on a $4.99 price point with a 96.6% positive review ratio and 923 total reviews, but sits almost entirely in Chinese-speaking markets (907 of 916 language-tagged reviews are Simplified Chinese). The title shows strong residual cashflow at $13.6k/mo despite zero promotional activity in 48 months, suggesting durable organic demand. For a Western publisher or developer seeking to enter or deepen Chinese market share, this represents a proven, low-maintenance catalog play; for others, it's a watch until expansion ambitions clarify.

- Most realistic play: watch
- Risk (market): 99% localization gap to English indicates negligible Western market reach; revenue ceiling likely capped without significant translation and cultural adaptation investment.
- Risk (other): Extremely limited developer footprint (single title, no posts in 4.6 months) raises uncertainty about ongoing support, sequel potential, or willingness to collaborate on revival or localization.

Suggested first moves:
1. Acquire sample of top Chinese-language reviews to understand player sentiment, common requests, and franchise appetite in primary market.
2. Contact Choice Studio to assess developer intent, IP ownership clarity, and openness to publishing partnership or localization co-investment.
3. Model ROI on English-language localization and light marketing push; current $13.6k/mo residual may justify modest translation spend if studio retains update capability.

## 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.
