Note written 2026-09-15; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.
Depraved is an indie survival city-builder with customizable difficulty and progressive building unlocks.
This 2019 title maintains a solid mid-range monthly residual stream despite zero promotional activity in the past year and an inactive developer. The title shows durable appeal to its niche audience: median playtime of 7 hours, 40% still-active players, and consistent (if modest) monthly reviews suggest a patient, low-maintenance catalog performer. Realistic angle is watch-and-monitor for eventual acquisition if the developer truly goes dormant, or a minimal-footprint publishing refresh if budget permits a single seasonal discount to test price elasticity. Most realistic play: watch.
- Risk: Developer studio status flagged as inactive with no posts in 79+ months; single-title studio with no backup revenue or support pipeline.
- Risk: Mixed sentiment (60.7% positive overall, but recent 55% positive shows slight erosion) and polarized reviews suggest gameplay balance or tutorial clarity issues that may limit organic growth.
- Risk: No cloud saves, no workshop support, and localization gap in Brazilian Portuguese (3.8% shortfall despite 31 reviews in that language) indicate incomplete live-ops infrastructure.
