Games like Death Come True

A typical game among these

≈ 32k–77k copies

≈ $124k–$363k after Steam's cut

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Choose Your Own Adventure (8 of 8) and Visual Novel (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dating Sim + FMV, priced around $15.
When they shipped: Only 2 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).
