Does this actually work?

The middle of these games

≈ 1k–5k copies

≈ $5k–$22k after Steam's cut

from ~72 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Bonfire Peaks at ≈ 9k–14k copies, ≈ $47k–$126k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 13 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 3 to 89.

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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
