(50-100k lifetime units sold should be doable!) Overall, the game launched with 37,000 Steam wishlists and sold around 15,000 copies in the first six weeks.

We spotted a YouTube version of Jordan’s talk at a recent GameDev Estonia organized event, and reached out to him for extra context. (It also converted ‘Hype’ at 3x what we predicted!)

But we think players who like the subgenre are happy to buy and try multiple contrasting games in it, yearly.
