Note written 2026-08-25; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A VR action game from 2017 in which you hunt ducks with absurdist comedic flair, built by Stress Level Zero.

Duck Season generates steady residual revenue (≈$597/mo mid-case) seven years post-launch with 85% positive sentiment and durable player engagement, yet shows classic quiet-studio signals: zero developer posts in 87 months, minimal discount activity (5 promotions in 12mo), and 2 concurrent players. The opportunity is narrow but real for a publisher seeking catalog depth in niche VR action or licensing the IP to a studio with active community momentum. Most realistic play: licensing.

  • Risk: VR-exclusive title with median session length of 3.5 hours limits addressable market and revival potential without porting to flat-screen or console VR.
  • Risk: Developer studio status flagged as 'fading' with zero public activity in 87 months; rights clarity and maintenance capacity unknown.
  • Risk: Current player base is minimal (2 now, 4 peak in last 30 days), suggesting organic discovery has largely exhausted.
