What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 32 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 1k.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (8 of 8) and Psychological Horror (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Psychological Horror, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry Thriller + Atmospheric + Narrative; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 5 of your 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
