The team behind Sea of Stars had an expectation of what the best-possible scenario for the game's success was, and turns out it was "seven times" more than that.
The Chrono Trigger-inspired indie RPG Sea of Stars was one of the highlights of 2023 – which is even more impressive when you remember how stacked that year was with indie titles like Pizza Tower, Cocoon, Dredge, and Venba. Not only did it pick up the award for Best Indie game at the Golden Joystick Awards and The Game Awards, but it hit four million players in under four months. Clearly it was a successful game, but turns out not even the devs figured it would be as successful as it was.
