Does the game sell well ?

[Ale]

The game is a lot of fun, but also has its problems. But looking at the reviews there are not many, implying less people bought the game.
Rebirth which is considered worse sold more and has about 6k reviews.

[Gdudism]

Rebirth mainly got its hype from it being the first return after TTD. SOMA didnt happen for alot of people.

Frictionals games have a very long tail, people will buy it in time, turning a profit for the company only then.

[coovien]

it's also free on gamepass which is prob going to affect steam sales

You can also buy it from epic store (16 euros with coupon).

The topic creator does not realize that Rebirth was released 3 years ago, while Bunker was released a week ago .
Rebirth didn't get 6,000 reviews in a week, the Bunker got a third of that number in just a week.

I do but I really feel like there was not enough marketing for this game, like it kinda went under the radar even tho it is a great game

Of course!

I do but I really feel like there was not enough monitization for this game, like it kinda went under the radar even tho it is a great game

monetization? do you mean marketing?

Lol yeah sorry, english is not my first language. Not enough marketing and no ads anywhere for the game

yeah in that case you're right, they barely marketed the game but I'm fairly confident it's overall good reviews and genuine status as a good game will allow it to sell itself.

I'm sure it will turn a profit, Rebirth sold on the merit of being a return to Amnesia since MfP (which frictional didn't even make.) whereas Bunker is a return to horror for them. Also, not knocking it, but the credits are a skeleton crew payroll wise. Bunker seems to have been very, very efficiently. Most likely to boost funding for an upcoming, full length game.

The game got postponed multiple times, is short, has technical issues and it's predecessor was a disappointment.
I don't think more investment in marketing would have helped.

I think Frictionals doing well. They have very dedicated fan base. Can't say for sure, but i feel like just because of people who genuinelly likes how their games feel and look (atmosphere is like no other), they are probably pushing enough copies in initial sales, to justify next title.
