Games like HANGMAN II

The middle of these games

≈ 146–2k copies

≈ $150–$993 after Steam's cut

from ~10 reviews

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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Cyber Manhunt at ≈ 389k–632k copies, ≈ $1.1M–$2.9M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 7 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 5k.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (6 of 8) and Horror (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Puzzle, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry RPG + Hacking + Mystery; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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