8k to 13k copies, based on its 331 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 8k–13k; $7k–$18k after Steam's cut $12k–$28k before Steam's cut; from 331 reviews (Very Positive)

Games like Sudoku RPG

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–17k copies

≈ $3k–$102k after Steam's cut

from ~126 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.

Best case: Rail Route at ≈ 65k–106k copies, ≈ $449k–$1.2M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 51 reviews in their first month; the range was 13 to 2k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Time Management (6 of 8) and Puzzle (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Building + Management, priced around $25.
When they shipped: Only 3 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).
