$478–$1k after Steam's cut $869–$2k before the cut

Thin evidence: 7 reviews. That range swings on one or two people, so read it as a hint, not a measurement.

A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

≈ $50k–$84k after Steam's cut

from ~234 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: MUSYNX at ≈ 206k–335k copies, ≈ $226k–$608k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 60 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 35 to 448.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Rhythm (7 of 8) and Simulation (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Rhythm + Music, priced around $4. The breakout hits carry Anime + Difficult + Indie; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, and 2 of your 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
