About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 287 to 13k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Interactive Fiction (6 of 8) and Visual Novel (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Visual Novel + Historical, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Historical + Cooking + Dating Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 3 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
