Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Volcano Princess at ≈ 1.2M–2.0M copies, ≈ $3.7M–$9.9M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 9k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 4k to 27k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Dating Sim (7 of 8) and Visual Novel (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Romance + Dating Sim, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Multiple Endings; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
