The genre you'd be entering

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, priced around $2. The breakout hits carry Romance + Story Rich + Great Soundtrack; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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