Games like My Lovely Wife

A typical game among these

≈ 7k–17k copies

≈ $31k–$84k after Steam's cut

from ~309 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Starlight of Aeons at ≈ 19k–31k copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 70 reviews in their first month; the range was 9 to 94.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Fantasy (6 of 8) and Anime (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Female Protagonist + Drama.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2022, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
