Q: How many copies did MindHunt sell?

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 124–202; $170–$459 after Steam's cut $309–$706 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.

≈ 1k–5k copies

≈ $4k–$8k after Steam's cut

from ~56 reviews

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Deceive Inc. at ≈ 195k–318k copies, ≈ $1.1M–$2.9M 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 31 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 2k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Social Deduction (6 of 8) and Detective (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Social Deduction, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry PvP + Heist + Battle Royale; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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).
