Games like My Hole is a Mouth of Dirt

A typical game among these

≈ 7.1M–10.6M copies

≈ $80.0M–$135.9M after Steam's cut

from ~222k 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: Dead by Daylight at ≈ 39.0M–63.3M copies, ≈ $214.2M–$575.9M 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 55k reviews in their first month; the range was 42k to 72k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Gore (7 of 8) and Horror (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Horror + Survival Horror, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Online Co-Op + Team-Based + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2016 to 2023, and none of them 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
