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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Word Game (8 of 8) and Puzzle (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Visual Novel, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Visual Novel + Typing + Romance; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 2 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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