≈ 703k–816k copies

≈ $2.4M–$3.9M after Steam's cut

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 616 to 5k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Story Rich (8 of 8) and Dark (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Psychological + Dark Comedy, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Dark Comedy + Dark + Choices Matter; a typical game here doesn't.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
