Games like Mushroom Challenge

A typical game among these

≈ 102k–118k copies

≈ $145k–$473k after Steam's cut

from ~3k 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.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: The Exit 8 at ≈ 289k–470k copies, ≈ $317k–$853k 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 471 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (6 of 8) and Immersive Sim (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Walking Simulator + Psychological Horror, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Open World + Indie; a typical game here doesn't.
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).
