≈ 2k–14k copies

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Sci-fi (3 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: INCISION at ≈ 28k–46k copies, ≈ $116k–$313k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 45 reviews in their first month; the range was 21 to 813.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sci-fi (3 of 8) and Detective (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Boomer Shooter + 1990's, priced around $15.
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).
