3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Choose Your Own Adventure (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Best case: Citizen Sleeper at ≈ 264k–429k copies, ≈ $1.5M–$3.9M after Steam's cut.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Choose Your Own Adventure (4 of 8) and Multiple Endings (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dice + Story Rich, priced around $20.
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).
