The middle of these games

≈ 446k–572k copies

≈ $1.6M–$2.3M after Steam's cut

from ~14k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Life is Strange 2 at ≈ 1.2M–2.0M copies. 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 800 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Visual Novel (7 of 8) and Choices Matter (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Choices Matter + Story Rich. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Singleplayer + Great Soundtrack; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
