Wiring Suspicion is a suspense mystery game released last July. It was independently produced by a single-player developer called Bureau 81 and received particularly well-received reviews on Steam.According to the statistics website, this game is much more popular than expected.
The game reached 50,000 sales within one month of its release, and it was obvious that the game's sales grew very rapidly in half a year.According to statistics website Gamalytic, nearly 110,000 copies of the game have been sold; another statistics website VG Insights has estimated that there are 160,000 copies.The game's US area is priced at $14, and the game's revenue has been from $1.2 million to $1.6 million based on that price alone.
Of course, the price of games in different regions is also different.This text adventure game is priced at only 42 yuan in the country and supports Simplified Chinese.Many of the reviews are from domestic players.Therefore, if calculated based on national prices, the income has not exceeded one million US dollars.This also requires considering the cheaper low-price zone and sales during the promotion period.According to Gamalytic, 16.7% of the players are from China.
In any case, a single-player and very short independent game is still a great achievement to achieve such sales.Not only that, the game has also been recognized by some awards, including the Pégases Award in the French gaming industry. The game was nominated for 5 nominations, including Best Game and Best Indie Game.The award in 2025 has not been awarded yet.
