Games like ANEURISM IV

A typical game among these

≈ 8k–535k copies

≈ $53k–$6.3M 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.

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Cruelty Squad at ≈ 621k–1.0M copies, ≈ $3.4M–$9.2M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 83 reviews in their first month; the range was 14 to 10k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Immersive Sim (5 of 8) and FPS (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Capitalism + Surreal, priced around $20.
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 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).
