The middle of these games

≈ 112k–227k copies

≈ $267k–$2.5M after Steam's cut

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Little Nightmares at ≈ 4.0M–6.5M copies, ≈ $22.0M–$59.3M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 518 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 196 to 22k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (5 of 8) and First-Person (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Horror; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2017 to 2023, and none of them 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).
