Games like YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story

A typical game among these

≈ 944k–1.7M copies

≈ $2.5M–$6.3M after Steam's cut

from ~29k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Doki Doki Literature Club! at ≈ 7.9M–12.8M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Anime (7 of 8) and Sexual Content (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Psychological Horror + Visual Novel. The breakout hits carry Horror + Dark + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
