The middle of these games

≈ 1.1M–1.8M copies

≈ $6.1M–$7.8M after Steam's cut

from ~28k 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: Mirror at ≈ 2.6M–4.2M copies, ≈ $1.4M–$3.8M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2k to 7k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Anime (8 of 8) and Dating Sim (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Sexual Content + Nudity, priced around $2. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + NSFW + Match 3; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2021, 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).
