A typical game among these

≈ 37k–145k copies

≈ $41k–$748k after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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: Internet Cafe Simulator 2 at ≈ 328k–533k copies, ≈ $1.8M–$4.9M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 425 reviews in their first month; the range was 46 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Life Sim (7 of 8) and Simulation (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Management, priced around $20.
When they shipped: Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
