How many copies did TERMINUS sell?

Q: How many copies did TERMINUS sell?

694 to 1k copies, based on its 28 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Games like TERMINUS

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–5k copies

≈ $2k–$34k after Steam's cut

from ~73 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Ayahuasca at ≈ 10k–16k copies, ≈ $35k–$95k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 23 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 64.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Experimental (7 of 8) and Psychedelic (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Exploration + Psychedelic, priced around $13.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. 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).
