Astronaut: The Best

Short description

Astronaut: The Best is an occult management adventure where people aren't just numbers: they're screwups. You must run a proper space academy using lies, witchcraft, and/or hard work. Guide cadets through a roguelite web of scandals and challenges, or the government will have you killed.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $14.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
