1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Revita at ≈ 60k–98k copies, ≈ $282k–$757k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 10 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 1k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

Only 1 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).
