≈ $2.1M–$3.2M after Steam's cut

from ~6k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Hello Neighbor at ≈ 1.1M–1.8M copies, ≈ $9.2M–$24.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on First-Person (7 of 8) and Horror (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Sandbox, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Story Rich + Action-Adventure + Difficult; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2023, and none of them 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
