Games like ITORAH

A typical game among these

≈ 67k–108k copies

≈ $304k–$774k 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 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight at ≈ 498k–809k copies, ≈ $1.4M–$3.7M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 465 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Female Protagonist (8 of 8) and Metroidvania (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Female Protagonist, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Souls-like + Side Scroller + Exploration; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
