Games like The Horrorscope

A typical game among these

≈ 168k–430k copies

≈ $196k–$573k after Steam's cut

from ~6k 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: NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD at ≈ 1.4M–2.4M copies, ≈ $6.4M–$17.1M 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 570 reviews in their first month; the range was 219 to 7k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Psychological Horror (8 of 8) and Horror (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Psychological Horror + Anime, priced around $16. The breakout hits carry Sexual Content + Anime + Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
