A typical game among these

≈ 148k–527k copies

≈ $1.2M–$4.1M after Steam's cut

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: To the Moon at ≈ 5.5M–8.9M copies, ≈ $15.0M–$40.4M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Story Rich (5 of 8) and Interactive Fiction (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Story Rich + Emotional, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Indie + RPGMaker; 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).
