A 1999 isometric narrative CRPG set in D&D's Planescape setting, restored and expanded by Beamdog in 2017 as an Enhanced Edition.

Planescape: Torment EE is a quiet, high-quality back-catalog title generating ~$2.7k/mo in residual revenue with exceptional player sentiment (94.5% positive) and strong retention (65% still playing). The case for action is modest: $1.1M lifetime net on 257k units suggests the original 1999 title and this 2017 restoration have already saturated their core audience. Opportunity lies not in acquisition but in targeted revival tactics: audio restoration (EAX removal is a vocal pain point), modding tooling, or fresh localization. Best suited for a publisher seeking stable, low-maintenance IP with devoted niche fans and potential console-port upside. Most realistic play: revival.

Risk: D&D license holder (Wizards of the Coast) controls IP; any expansion, sequel or meaningful update requires rights negotiation and likely revenue share.
Risk: Audio subsystem (EAX DirectSound) is deprecated and actively criticized by players; modernizing emulation or replacement is non-trivial and may alter signature sound design.
Risk: Peak monthly revenue was ~$4.4k (best_month month 7); current residual is $2.7k/mo, reflecting an installed-base plateau and little new-user inflow despite strong reviews.
