Games like Cursed Gem

A typical game among these

≈ 56k–105k copies

≈ $142k–$612k 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: Grimhook at ≈ 105k–170k copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 332 reviews in their first month; the range was 155 to 632.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Platformer (8 of 8) and Action-Adventure (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with First-Person + Action-Adventure.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
