The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Female Protagonist (6 of 8) and Visual Novel (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Life Sim + Multiple Endings, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Life Sim + RPG + Dating Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2013 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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).
