Q: How many copies did The Inquisitor sell?

11k to 17k copies, based on its 430 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 11k–17k; $117k–$315k after Steam's cut $213k–$485k before Steam's cut; from 430 reviews (Mostly Positive)

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid The Inquisitor and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including The Inquisitor's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1k–3k

best case 4k (Quartermain and the Cult of Cthulhu)

Games like The Inquisitor

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–3k copies

≈ $3k–$18k after Steam's cut

from ~58 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Quartermain and the Cult of Cthulhu at ≈ 3k–6k copies, ≈ $3k–$8k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 18 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 44.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action-Adventure (5 of 8) and Exploration (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Boomer Shooter + FPS, priced around $3.
When they shipped: Only 3 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).
