LOST EMBER is a 2019 narrative-adventure game by Mooneye Studios where players inhabit and control various animals to explore a mystical world and uncover the story of a reincarnated soul.

LOST EMBER has generated $1.08M lifetime revenue with strong 88% positive sentiment and no discount promotions in 48 months, indicating stable word-of-mouth appeal and pricing power. However, current monthly residual revenue of $652/mo and minimal active concurrency (2 players now) suggest the title has entered quiet maintenance mode. The game is relevant only if a buyer seeks a proven single-player narrative IP with cross-platform appeal (PS5, Steam Deck proven) and is willing to invest in a 'Rekindled' refresh or regional expansion rather than expect immediate uplift. Most realistic play: revival.

  • Risk: No discount promotions in 48 months and zero price elasticity suggest pricing may be at ceiling; revival would require new content (e.g., Rekindled version) to justify relaunch spend.
  • Risk: Game is 46+ months old; engine, asset pipeline, and team continuity risks if developer is not part of acquisition.
  • Risk: Very small concurrent player base (2 now, 5 in last 30 days) means multiplayer or live-service revival is not viable; single-player focus is locked.
