A VR-exclusive adventure set in the Psychonauts universe, developed by Double Fine as a standalone bridge between the first and second games.

Rhombus of Ruin occupies a narrow but defensible niche: it's a canonical, story-complete Psychonauts entry with solid community affection (86% positive) that generates steady low-four-figure monthly residuals from a tiny but loyal installed base. The title's value lies not in scale but in IP completeness and fan trust. For a publisher or studio betting on Psychonauts revival or VR catalog depth, this is a genuine keeper; for a platform-agnostic acquirer, the VR-only footprint and lack of ongoing discount activity make it a lower-priority hold. Most realistic play: publishing.

Risk: VR-exclusive format limits addressable market; headset adoption skew and platform fragmentation mean residuals depend heavily on individual VR ecosystem health.
Risk: No active discount strategy in past 12 months despite negative elasticity suggests pricing may be optimized or publisher confidence is low; new owner would inherit a cold promotional calendar.
Risk: Median playtime of 5 hours and no DLC or monetization lanes mean revenue ceiling is finite; all returns are front-loaded at purchase, not sustained engagement.
