Games like WitchHand

A typical game among these

≈ 134k–200k copies

≈ $798k–$1.5M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: TCG Card Shop Simulator at ≈ 1.3M–2.0M copies, ≈ $6.9M–$18.6M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 509 to 51k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (6 of 8) and Card Game (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Management, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Economy + Collectathon + Trading Card Game; a typical game here doesn't.
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).
