Following terrible sales.
It’s a hard knock life out there for a Steam developer especially when you are trying to market games in a saturated category of an oversaturated market. Right now nobody can attest to that more than Mia Blais-Côté who has retired her entire library of games from Steam due to almost nonexistent sales.
Turns out people aren’t that interested in English/French bilingual visual novels.
The news post on all of the games notes:
Although I had sales during the Summer Sales, and I will have more, Alice Lorange Adventures Season 2 barely sold copies. Same thing with Season 1, the 3 Our Journeys, and other stories.
In fact, the best selling stories at the moment are Shantalia and Corali’hulu, the adult-only DLC, Elian Elisa ChatAid, and Iveri: The 1,000 Story. It makes no sense to me. Iveri is the worst story I’ve ever released on Steam. As for Shantalia and Corali’hulu, well it’s XXX without pictures. Same for Elisa Elian ChatAid.
