Games like A Fishy RPG

A typical game among these

≈ 318–1k copies

≈ $972–$9k after Steam's cut

from ~25 reviews

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

1 of the 5 similar games is a hit.

Best case: DREDGE at ≈ 1.4M–2.3M copies, ≈ $15.6M–$41.9M 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 24 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 10k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Exploration (4 of 5) and CRPG (3 of 5).
The winners: Winners here lead with Exploration + Fishing, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Lovecraftian + Inventory Management + Atmospheric; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 5 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).
