A typical game among these

≈ 54k–163k copies

≈ $189k–$954k after Steam's cut

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (5 of 8) and Robots (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Philosophical, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Philosophical + First-Person + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2011 to 2025, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
