The Exploration genre

None of your 8 similar games are hits. A niche genre: plan for a small audience.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).
