How many copies did Kitty's Venture sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 124–202
$68–$183 after Steam's cut $123–$281 before Steam's cut
from 5 reviews (5 user reviews)
Only 5 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

A typical game among these

≈ 22k–32k copies

≈ $9k–$61k after Steam's cut

from ~811 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Gato Roboto at ≈ 152k–246k copies, ≈ $333k–$896k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 73 reviews in their first month; the range was 25 to 286.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Cats (6 of 8) and Hand-drawn (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Cats, priced around $4. The breakout hits carry Metroidvania + Minimalist; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. 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 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).
