A typical game among these

≈ 19k–64k copies

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

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Comedy (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: The Stanley Parable at ≈ 2.9M–4.7M copies, ≈ $11.9M–$32.1M 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 688 reviews in their first month; the range was 214 to 11k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Comedy (4 of 8) and Narration (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with First-Person + Comedy, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry First-Person + Comedy + Walking Simulator; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2009 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
