There are many elements of that game that COULD have made it a true rival for BG3 but there are many things left unpolished because of budget. You can't say it didn't sell well because of a niche market.

Objectively it has not sold well - the Devs know this which is why its being discounted when it has just been released. The three pillars of adventure are exploration, social interaction and combat. Sillypasta offers exactly one of those things (hint: Its the combat), and that is by definition a niche market. You want a spectrum of people who are rule-focused, non-social and enjoy a linear path. That's a very tiny market, maybe less than 1% of the total gaming market.

Having said that, I applaud them for the combat system.
