A typical game among these

≈ 1k–2k copies

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.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Creature Collector (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: My Singing Monsters at ≈ 1.2M–2.0M 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 31 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 2k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Creature Collector (4 of 8) and Collectathon (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Lovecraftian + Horror, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry Casual + Indie + Lovecraftian; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 6 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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