A typical game among these

≈ 554–708 copies

≈ $517–$870 after Steam's cut

from ~19 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: FACEMINER at ≈ 39k–63k copies, ≈ $85k–$229k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 399 reviews in their first month.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Clicker (8 of 8) and Simulation (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Clicker, priced around $4. The breakout hits carry 1990's + Retro + Dystopian ; 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).
