≈ $3.0M–$8.6M after Steam's cut

These games: The similar games share Story Rich (8 of 8) and Detective (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Story Rich + Choices Matter, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry RPG + Isometric + Atmospheric; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2022, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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).
