Overview
The Crust is a 2024 Simulation game developed by VEOM Studio and published by Crytivo. On Steam it has gathered 3,564 player reviews, 77% of them positive, which counts as a mostly positive reception among indie titles in the Simulation category. The game is available on windows, and launched at $30.

≈ $2.0M to $4.7M net revenue (Steam cut + refunds + regional discount applied)
indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for The Crust at roughly 118,000 to 274,000 copies, with a median around 196,000, derived from its 3,564 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $3.4M in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem
indielist positions The Crust within the Simulation segment so players can surface comparable titles by shared tags and genre rather than by storefront promotion. On the developer side, VEOM Studio's other releases and Crytivo's wider catalog are one click away, letting developers benchmark where The Crust sits among a studio's body of work and how its publisher's portfolio performs. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same The Crust page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Simulation game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
