A typical game among these

≈ 65k–247k copies

≈ $180k–$621k after Steam's cut

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Portal 2 at ≈ 29.5M–48.0M copies, ≈ $81.1M–$218.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (8 of 8) and First-Person (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + First-Person, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + Dark Humor + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2007 to 2019, 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 36 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).
