A typical game among these

≈ 123k–148k copies

≈ $563k–$935k after Steam's cut

from ~4k reviews

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

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: A Date with Death at ≈ 371k–603k copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 930 reviews in their first month; the range was 329 to 3k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Visual Novel (8 of 8) and LGBTQ+ (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Dating Sim + Visual Novel. The breakout hits carry Character Customization + Free to Play + Dating Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2016 to 2025, and 2 of the 8 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
