The middle of these games

≈ 423–1k copies

≈ $438–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~23 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: A guard walks into a tavern at ≈ 11k–17k copies, ≈ $24k–$63k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 253 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on 3D Platformer (7 of 8) and Idler (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Choices Matter + Medieval, priced around $8. The breakout hits carry Choices Matter + Medieval + Dark Humor; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 2 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).
