≈ 586–6k copies

≈ $1k–$13k after Steam's cut

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Paradise Marsh at ≈ 14k–22k copies, ≈ $56k–$150k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

The genre you'd be entering

The similar games share Exploration (7 of 8) and Walking Simulator (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Procedural Generation + Short, priced around $15.
When they shipped
Only 2 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).
