Games like Mind

A typical game among these

≈ 42k–53k copies

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Artificial Intelligence (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Thrive at ≈ 44k–71k copies, ≈ $60k–$161k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 11 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 122.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Artificial Intelligence (4 of 8) and Sandbox (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Science, priced around $5.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
