Games like Luffy: Way Back Home

A typical game among these

≈ 11k–14k copies

≈ $13k–$18k after Steam's cut

from ~366 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: inbento at ≈ 74k–120k copies, ≈ $101k–$272k 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 87 reviews in their first month; the range was 27 to 150.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Cats (5 of 8) and Hand-drawn (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Cute + Puzzle + Funny; a typical game here doesn't.
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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
