≈ 96k–191k copies

≈ $608k–$991k after Steam's cut

Best case: Mountain at ≈ 912k–1.5M copies, ≈ $248k–$668k 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 1k to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (6 of 8) and Puzzle (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + God Game, priced around $1. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Relaxing + God Game; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2006 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
