What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 267 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 40 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Exploration (4 of 7) and Puzzle (4 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with FMV + Interactive Fiction, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry FMV + Choose Your Own Adventure + Immersive Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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).
