A typical game among these

≈ 5k–53k copies

≈ $26k–$550k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster at ≈ 102k–166k copies, ≈ $1.4M–$3.8M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 301 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Horror (7 of 8) and Action-Adventure (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Zombies + Action-Adventure, priced around $50.
When they shipped: Only 2 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).
