≈ $78.1M–$109.7M after Steam's cut

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share First-Person (2 of 3) and Horror (2 of 3).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mature + Utilities, priced around $5.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
