A prototype changes the closest comparables—show what shifted and which assumptions need revisiting.
Latent Spark attributes the shift to new production and player evidence, updates its model of similarity, and carries that change into downstream decisions.
A co-op horror concept mixes proximity chat, procedural spaces, and social deduction—find what reinforces that mix.
Latent Spark places incomplete concepts probabilistically within the industry, compares credible product configurations, and works from partial creative information without requiring a rigid feature taxonomy.
Several portfolio games target adjacent audiences—identify cannibalization, redundancy, and gaps worth filling.
Latent Spark maps overlap and gaps across player need, design proposition, commercial role, and release timing, revealing both portfolio risk and opportunity.
Belief
Project an unfinished game into the same atlas as shipped titles and see which games sit near it.
See where similarity, positioning, mechanics, or market identity depend on uncertain evidence.
Explore counterfactuals: more co-op, more premium, more cozy, more systems-heavy, or closer to a different market neighborhood.
Latent Spark holds the belief state the rest of Iridae reads from and writes back to. Forecasts, paths, and experiments stop arguing from separate assumptions.
Anchored Horizon retrieves comps and keeps commercial expectations current as belief changes.
Patient Cartographer maps which game and market paths remain open from the current belief state.
Subtle Beacon turns uncertainty into experiments that feed evidence back into belief.
See how you can keep a calibrated read on what a game is becoming—so positioning rests on living evidence, not stale comps.
