Games like A Raven Monologue

A typical game among these

≈ 10k–58k copies

≈ $15k–$109k after Steam's cut

from ~453 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: Gorogoa at ≈ 717k–1.2M copies, ≈ $3.0M–$7.9M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 24 reviews in their first month; the range was 5 to 68.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Short (5 of 8) and Hand-drawn (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Hand-drawn, priced around $15.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. 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).
