Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

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

A narrative-driven sci-fi ocean exploration game where you pilot a submersible and catalog an alien ecosystem through text descriptions and minimal UI.

In Other Waters occupies a quiet but stable position in the narrative-adventure space, with solid residual earnings and a devoted but small player base. The 86% positive rating and high elasticity suggest strong word-of-mouth potential if repositioned. This is a watch or publishing opportunity rather than an acquisition play: it demonstrates Gareth Davey's design voice before Citizen Sleeper, making it relevant to developers and publishers tracking his evolution, but standalone revival is unlikely to yield outsized returns. Most realistic play: watch.

• Risk: Extremely niche design, minimal gameplay and UI are features, not bugs, but severely limit addressable market and make traditional marketing difficult.
• Risk: No workshop, cards, achievements or cloud saves; limited platform integration suggests lower friction for porting but also lower engagement hooks.
• Risk: Developer Gareth Davey has moved on to the commercially successful Citizen Sleeper franchise; revival investment may feel backward-looking to the studio.
