A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Multiplayer + Social Deduction, priced around $5.
  • The breakout hits carry 2D + Psychological + Online Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
