A typical game among these

≈ 138k–170k copies

≈ $346k–$634k after Steam's cut

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.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante at ≈ 326k–529k copies, ≈ $1.8M–$4.8M 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 834 reviews in their first month; the range was 113 to 1k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Story Rich (6 of 8) and Choose Your Own Adventure (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Visual Novel + Choose Your Own Adventure, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Visual Novel + Interactive Fiction + Text-Based; 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
