The middle of these games

≈ 434k–524k copies

≈ $1.3M–$3.2M after Steam's cut

from ~15k 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: Volcano Princess at ≈ 1.2M–2.0M copies, ≈ $3.7M–$9.9M 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 7k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 509 to 12k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Choices Matter (5 of 8) and Dating Sim (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Life Sim + Multiple Endings, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Multiple Endings + Female Protagonist + Life Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
