Games like Inverted Angel

A typical game among these

≈ 277–3k copies

≈ $483–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~40 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Citizen Sleeper at ≈ 264k–429k copies, ≈ $1.5M–$3.9M 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 44 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 812.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Visual Novel (6 of 8) and Story Rich (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dice + Story Rich, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Dice + Tabletop + Narrative; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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).
