# Puss in Box

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

- Steam appid: 4474870
- Developer: Gamesforfarm
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Casual · List price: $0.99
- Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $41 to $62 per month (mid $51)
- Opportunity score: $82/month at x1.60 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 1.0k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $340
- Review sentiment: 90% positive across 40 reviews (32 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 6.2 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- No developer announcement on record, ever
- Studio active elsewhere (3 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 6 months ago
- Store page localized in only 2 language(s)
- Last discounted 0 months ago, 4 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $93 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $81 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $74 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $51 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (5 months)

15, 11, 2, 3, 0

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 5 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$62 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## 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.
