A typical game among these

≈ 540k–1.3M copies

≈ $6.4M–$14.8M after Steam's cut

from ~20k 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: Buckshot Roulette at ≈ 3.1M–5.1M copies, ≈ $2.6M–$6.9M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 3k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 16k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share First-Person (8 of 8) and Puzzle (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dark + Gambling, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Gambling + Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2010 to 2024, and 1 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
