Games like Russian Subway Dogs

A typical game among these

≈ 505–78k copies

≈ $2k–$975k after Steam's cut

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

The winners: Winners here lead with Cats + LGBTQ+, priced around $12.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
