Games like Kine

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–4k copies

≈ $8k–$13k after Steam's cut

from ~67 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build at ≈ 58k–95k copies, ≈ $241k–$647k 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 37 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 94.

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 (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Sokoban, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Strategy + Psychological Horror + Psychological; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2024, and 2 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
