Games like Tuin

A typical game among these

≈ 22k–43k copies

≈ $40k–$88k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Rusty's Retirement at ≈ 369k–600k copies, ≈ $709k–$1.9M 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 380 reviews in their first month; the range was 27 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Idler (7 of 8) and Simulation (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Idler + Farming Sim, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Management + Pixel Graphics + Relaxing; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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).
