Your set: Your set clusters on Story Rich (5 of 8) and Interactive Fiction (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Story Rich + Emotional, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Indie + RPGMaker; a typical game here doesn't.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
