Your set: Your set clusters on Story Rich (6 of 8) and Choose Your Own Adventure (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Visual Novel + Choose Your Own Adventure, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Visual Novel + Interactive Fiction + Text-Based; a typical game here doesn't.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
