Games like Slayaway Camp

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–6k copies

≈ $4k–$13k after Steam's cut

from ~126 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Unlock The King at ≈ 12k–19k copies, ≈ $3k–$9k 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 28 reviews in their first month; the range was 13 to 55.

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 (8 of 8) and Sokoban (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Futuristic + Sokoban, priced around $1. The breakout hits carry Atmospheric + Futuristic + Chess; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
