A typical game among these

≈ 1k copies

≈ $6k–$7k after Steam's cut

from ~45 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

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

Best case: Suzerain at ≈ 296k–481k copies, ≈ $1.6M–$4.4M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games

The winners
Winners here lead with Choices Matter + Interactive Fiction, priced around $12.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
