Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Blood Moon and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Blood Moon's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 740–2k
best case 179k (私のリアルは充実しすぎている フルボイス版)
Games like Blood Moon

A typical game among these

≈ 740–2k copies

≈ $2k–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~27 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: 私のリアルは充実しすぎている フルボイス版 at ≈ 136k–222k copies, ≈ $375k–$1.0M 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 30 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 1k.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Romance (8 of 8) and Text-Based (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Visual Novel + Romance, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Visual Novel + Word Game + Cute; 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).
