≈ 419k–736k copies

≈ $837k–$5.1M after Steam's cut

from ~12k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty at ≈ 1.5M–2.4M copies, ≈ $4.1M–$11.0M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 922 to 13k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Dating Sim (8 of 8) and Visual Novel (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Visual Novel + Historical, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Historical + Cooking + Interactive Fiction; a typical game here doesn't.

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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
