Games like WORDLAND 3

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–7k copies

≈ $1k–$27k after Steam's cut

from ~71 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: LOK Digital at ≈ 15k–24k copies, ≈ $62k–$167k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 20 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 174.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Logic (8 of 8) and Puzzle (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hand-drawn + Puzzle, priced around $15.
When they shipped: Only 1 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).
