A typical game among these

≈ 163–439 copies

≈ $330–$797 after Steam's cut

from ~9 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: The Awakening of Mummies at ≈ 893–1k copies, ≈ $489–$1k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 4 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 17.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Puzzle (8 of 8) and Logic (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle + Dungeon Crawler, priced around $2.
When they shipped
Only 3 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).
