Games like Void Stranger

A typical game among these

≈ 5k–23k copies

≈ $13k–$32k after Steam's cut

from ~343 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: I'm on Observation Duty 4 at ≈ 21k–34k copies, ≈ $29k–$78k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 38 reviews in their first month; the range was 21 to 152.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (7 of 8) and Mystery (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Psychological Horror + Horror, priced around $5.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
