≈ $10.9M–$16.5M after Steam's cut

from ~35k 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: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc at ≈ 1.6M–2.6M copies, ≈ $8.9M–$24.0M after Steam's cut.

About half the games that made it here had over 32 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 233.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Detective (8 of 8) and Mystery (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Anime + Visual Novel, priced around $20.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2011 to 2024, and 2 of the 8 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
