Games like Ossuary

A typical game among these

≈ 24k–40k copies

≈ $62k–$189k after Steam's cut

from ~728 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: Little Inferno at ≈ 872k–1.4M copies, ≈ $3.6M–$9.7M 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 95 reviews in their first month; the range was 47 to 465.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (5 of 8) and Story Rich (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Satire, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Casual + Short + Indie; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2012 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).
