Games like My Dream is a Lost Memory

A typical game among these

≈ 1.1M–1.8M copies

≈ $3.6M–$7.7M after Steam's cut

from ~35k reviews

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

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Mirror 2: Project X at ≈ 2.9M–4.7M copies, ≈ $1.6M–$4.2M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 5k reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 28k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Visual Novel (6 of 8) and Interactive Fiction (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Match 3 + Anime, priced around $2.
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).
