Games like The Genesis Project

A typical game among these

≈ 78k–130k copies

≈ $231k–$835k after Steam's cut

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

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Chained Together at ≈ 1.6M–2.6M copies, ≈ $2.2M–$5.9M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 258 to 19k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Platformer (6 of 8) and Action-Adventure (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Platformer, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Casual + Puzzle-Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 5 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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).
