Games like Bloodshore

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–8k copies

≈ $4k–$19k after Steam's cut

from ~84 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: Erica at ≈ 44k–71k copies, ≈ $144k–$388k 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 30 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 353.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action-Adventure (5 of 8) and Choose Your Own Adventure (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Choose Your Own Adventure + FMV, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + Story Rich + Puzzle; a typical game here doesn't.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
