Games like We Were Here Too

A typical game among these

≈ 502k–586k copies

≈ $1.2M–$2.1M after Steam's cut

from ~15k 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: We Were Here at ≈ 1.1M–1.9M copies. 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 176 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (8 of 8) and Mystery (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Escape Room. The breakout hits carry Co-op Campaign + Free to Play + Horror; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
