Games like The Killing Antidote

A typical game among these

≈ 452k–815k copies

≈ $1.3M–$2.7M after Steam's cut

from ~13k 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: Resident Evil 3 at ≈ 3.1M–5.1M copies, ≈ $34.6M–$93.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Anime (5 of 8) and Nudity (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Zombies + Horror, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Remake + Horror + Female Protagonist; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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).
