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.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Artificial Intelligence (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: BIOMORPH at ≈ 17k–28k copies, ≈ $95k–$255k 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 14 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 261.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Artificial Intelligence (4 of 8) and Action-Adventure (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Text-Based + Choose Your Own Adventure, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Puzzle + Exploration; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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).
