Haywire

Short description

Haywire is a randomly generated action/platformer game, set inside the world’s first fully automated department store. When the robotic staff suddenly go haywire, it’s up to you to stop the AI that powers them. Take control of a rogue ex-cop, armed with only your gun, your wit, and a few grenades.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $2.99 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.
