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

A stylized noir adventure game blending jazz aesthetics, astrophysics narrative, and minimalist puzzle design across the birth of the universe.

Genesis Noir occupies a rare niche: a critically coherent indie title (79% positive, 2,261 reviews) with strong artistic identity that has earned $201k lifetime on modest player throughput. Current residual revenue of $834/mo on dormant dev activity (last post 2.5 months ago) suggests the game has found stable shelf life rather than active decline. The opportunity lies not in scaling this title alone, but in understanding why a one-studio project with 6-hour median playtime sustains $10k annually post-launch, and whether the IP or Feral Cat Den's next project justifies acquisition or publishing partnership. Most realistic play: watch.

Risk: Extremely narrow appeal (astrophysics + noir + experimental narrative) limits ceiling for revival spend; elasticity of 1.21 suggests modest pricing leverage.
Risk: Single-title studio with no announced follow-up; acquisition value hinges entirely on whether Feral Cat Den has new IP in development or is a one-hit creator.
Risk: No workshop, cloud save, or card support; game may have technical debt or design lock that complicates porting or live service expansion.
