Don't get out over your skis, the game had a 2377 player peak last night: https://steamdb.info/app/632470/graphs/ These are indie game numbers.

What I meant was, no bad blood. Not that Obsidian has somehow anything to do with their success.

They had virtually zero marketing.
My best and only hope for DE's commercial success is that it's a critical hit, then goes viral, then people start picking it up. I'm really hoping the numbers will go up in the coming days.

They'll obviously go up over the weekend. But for now, frame of reference:
Age of Decadence: 703 peak players
Torment: Tides of Numenera: 7430 peak players

I think it will have an opposite effect sadly. While the game clearly has PST qualities, I think it's way harder to get into. PST's outside appearance lured people that already knew infinity engine RPGs into the depths of it's writing. DE's gameplay and narrative will prove too innovative for generic gamers IMO, and a slush of negative "no combat lul" reviews will follow.

Played for 5 hours; its 23:nn and I'm about to start the autopsy in the garden in the f-----g dark, in my next session. So far its great but I feel like I'm playing it wrong by trying to behave. Also I still haven't left the premises of the motel, pacing seems off a bit touring in between motel-garden-car all day, if there is really a time limit it'll fuck me. On the bright side I'm looking forward to a wacky playthrough already.
might be big spoiler, maybe
it is great cop > tragedy(loss of wife/family) > miserable cop right?

It will. It's got good scores and word of mouth. That just has to be discovered by players first.
Of course its never going to make AAA numbers. It's a highly rated, but niche game by definition. And theres nothing wrong with that. It's a big enough niche to sustain itself. And that niche tends to grow die-hard fans.

Both those games sold roughly the same amount of copies, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

I think DE will definitely be a big hit. It's a very easy to jump into game, it has a very distinct style to it, the writing is intelligent, humorous and most importantly engaging. It's bizarrely charismatic. You can't help but want to keep playing and see what comes next.
There are also some genuinely great little systems here. I really like that Thought Cabinet, for example, and I like that you get to go more into the "guts" of the attributes to pinpoint what you want exactly. I hope future RPGs learn from what is found here, especially how your thoughts swarm you in various ways.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I still think that this is going to sell by word of mouth, or not at all. I'd be surprised if even ZA/UM thought they'd sell a gorillion copies at launch; the prerelease hype may have been intense but it was confined to extremely niche places -- like a thread or two here. Even some Codexians are going "wait what, where did this come from, is it any good?"

I just started the game over and ran into a bug: picking up the shoe outside doesn't actually add it to my inventory...I'm stuck with one shoe.
I still haven't even booted it up so take this with a grain of salt, but just from reading the Steam store page this is the best text adventure game since A Mind Forever Voyaging.

You can also wake up with one shoe visually on (the one from rack), so it evens out.

We're all comrades.
happened to me once out of my 3 different attempts at the game so far, although for me it was the shoe inside
that's the combat module
