Games like Ancient Dungeon

A typical game among these

≈ 65k–96k copies

≈ $503k–$934k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 7 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Escape the Backrooms at ≈ 4.1M–6.7M copies, ≈ $11.4M–$30.6M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 547 to 114k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share VR (4 of 7) and Co-op (3 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Psychological Horror, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Horror + Psychological Horror + Survival Horror; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2025, and 2 of the 7 shipped in the last two years.

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