Games like Nuclear Frost

A typical game among these

≈ 399–1k copies

≈ $722–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~20 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: Rabbit Hole at ≈ 7k–11k copies, ≈ $15k–$41k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 115 reviews in their first month.

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 Idler (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Gore + Violent, priced around $8.
When they shipped: Only 1 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).
