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: I Am Cat at ≈ 14k–23k copies, ≈ $77k–$207k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The winners
Winners here lead with Cats + Simulation, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Cartoon + Cartoony + Family Friendly; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 to 2024, and 2 of your 8 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
