Note written 2026-08-28; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A roguelike survival adventure where you scavenge a sinking ship, manage resources, and uncover character-driven lore across multiple endings.

Don't Sleep With The Fishes punches well above its $1.99 price point, sustaining solid four-figure monthly residuals on a micro budget. The community is genuinely attached to the characters and lore, players are actively hunting achievements and secrets, and the developer remains active post-launch. This is a clean acquisition or publishing-partnership target for anyone building a catalog of high-margin indie evergreens, particularly if Russian-language localization and modest feature expansion could unlock dormant regional upside. Most realistic play: acquisition.

• Risk: Heavily dependent on word-of-mouth and Twitch discovery; gameplay loop can feel repetitive after a few runs, which may limit sustained retention beyond the core audience.
• Risk: Single-developer studio; knowledge transfer and long-term support continuity could be a concern in an M&A scenario.
• Risk: Significant localization gap for Russian (the title's second-strongest language market), leaving opportunity on the table.
