Angels of Death is a 2016 supernatural adventure game following a traumatized girl and a serial killer in a mystery-thriller narrative adapted from a popular manga and anime franchise.

This title maintains a remarkably loyal base (95%+ positive, 60% still playing) and solid residual revenue despite minimal developer engagement over the past year. The franchise has proven transmedia appeal (manga, anime, mobile adaptations), and the game's mid-sized owner base suggests untapped opportunity for a publishing partner willing to drive visibility through seasonal sales, localization, or bundling with the anime ecosystem. Acquisition of the game alone is not viable without IP rights negotiation, but a publishing or revival play could unlock additional months of contribution with modest marketing spend. Most realistic play: publishing.

  • Risk: Game rights tied to manga/anime IP; likely owned by Japanese publisher R.B. Dreams Co. or original IP holder; full acquisition impossible without their consent.
  • Risk: Current player count (28 concurrent, 32 peak-30d) is minimal; deep marketing intervention would be needed to move the needle.
  • Risk: Player feedback flags serious narrative concerns around the portrayal of child trauma and abuse that may limit mainstream appeal and create sensitivity risk.
