Games like Date Warp

A typical game among these

≈ 239k–323k copies

≈ $1.7M–$2.9M after Steam's cut

from ~7k reviews

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.

Best case: VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action at ≈ 1.6M–2.6M copies, ≈ $6.7M–$17.9M 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 594 reviews in their first month; the range was 504 to 2k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Story Rich (6 of 8) and Female Protagonist (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Cyberpunk + Visual Novel, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Cyberpunk + Pixel Graphics + Dystopian ; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2015 to 2024, and 2 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.
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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
