Games like Psycholonials

A typical game among these

≈ 521–16k copies

≈ $2k–$109k after Steam's cut

from ~22 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: Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony at ≈ 806k–1.3M copies, ≈ $8.9M–$23.8M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 17 reviews in their first month.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Visual Novel (8 of 8) and Female Protagonist (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Visual Novel + Detective, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Detective + Story Rich + Mystery; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2024, and 2 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
