Does this actually work?

We left TERMINUS out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including TERMINUS's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1k–5k
best case 13k (Ayahuasca)
Games like TERMINUS

The middle of these games

≈ 1k–5k copies

≈ $2k–$34k after Steam's cut

from ~73 reviews

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: Ayahuasca at ≈ 10k–16k copies, ≈ $36k–$96k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 23 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 4 to 65.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Experimental (7 of 8) and Psychedelic (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Exploration + Psychedelic, priced around $13.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. 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).
