  • Developer and publisher: Dazed Games.
  • Platform in this snapshot: Windows on Steam.
  • Modes: single-player and 1-4 player online co-op.
  • Controller support: full controller support is listed on Steam.

The revenue number is an estimate, not official revenue

A widely shared launch analysis estimated roughly USD 3.0-4.2 million in gross sales during the first two days, or about CNY 21.5-30 million at the exchange assumptions used in that analysis. It began with one million copies and adjusted the US launch price downward to account for regional pricing.

That range is not an official revenue disclosure. It does not provide a verified country mix, refunds, taxes, Valve's share, or the game's final net income, so it should be read as a rough gross-sales scenario rather than money received by the two-person studio.

How to read changing player data

Player counts change every hour and normally fall after a launch spike. Always check the timestamp on SteamDB before comparing today's live count with the all-time peak on this page.

This page keeps milestone numbers separate from live telemetry so an old snapshot cannot be mistaken for a current player count.
