No official sales, revenue or budget figure exists - Dr PinkCake is a pseudonymous solo developer who has never published one. The headline figure is a THIRD-PARTY ESTIMATE from Graphtreon, which models Patreon earnings from publicly visible member counts; Graphtreon reports ~14,463 paid members (60,529 total), ranking the creator #6 among adult-games creators and #53 on Patreon overall, with the page created 19 April 2018. The fan wiki records a peak above 19,900 patrons in March 2025. Treat the dollar range as modelled, not disclosed. Scale proxies only: Steam Season 1 carries 11,643 user reviews at ~96% positive (Overwhelmingly Positive); SteamSpy's owner range for this title is withheld and unusable. A widely-quoted '$58,686/month from 12,431 patrons' figure traces to a domain that no longer resolves and was NOT used.
