A typical game among these

≈ 9k–14k copies

≈ $27k–$64k after Steam's cut

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: IMMORTALITY at ≈ 50k–81k copies, ≈ $274k–$736k 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 Point & Click (6 of 8) and Interactive Fiction (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Hidden Object + Choose Your Own Adventure, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Realistic + Noir + Hidden Object; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 1 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
