Your set clusters on Puzzle (6 of 8) and Hidden Object (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle + Mystery, priced around $9. The breakout hits carry Lovecraftian + Mystery + Escape Room; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2024, and 1 of your 8 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
