Games like Dordogne

A typical game among these

≈ 8k–18k copies

≈ $54k–$90k after Steam's cut

from ~344 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Cozy (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: LEGO® Builder's Journey at ≈ 107k–174k copies, ≈ $589k–$1.6M 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 114 reviews in their first month; the range was 41 to 789.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Cozy (4 of 8) and Puzzle (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Cozy, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Indie + Singleplayer + Hidden Object; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 3 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).
