    More likely "Simulator"s and AI-gen retro/2D games. Most are usually just copy and paste of something that was successful but with different skin/title/theme.

    The proof is in the tags and search filters using Steam.

    Although Hentai may appear at the top of New Releases it’s because those trend with higher sales.

    Visual Novels are probably in a close 2nd and most of those are now AI-gen now so the pump is flowing fast.

      I keep seeing that AI simulator shit, too. It’s really irritating. Especially since streamers play the games and the content keeps spreading.

        What is an AI simulator? Is it a simulation game made using gen-AI, or a simulation game where you interact with gen-AI?

          Lol, I wasn’t super clear on that.

          It’s a game like Water Park Simulator where you run a water park. At least some of the images are clearly generated with AI, and I’m certain they vibe coded the game as well; used an LLM to generate some or all of the code.
