≈ $38k after Steam's cut

from ~310 reviews

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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Homicipher at ≈ 206k–334k copies, ≈ $791k–$2.1M 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 55 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 6 to 3k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Choose Your Own Adventure (8 of 8) and Text-Based (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Horror + Otome, priced around $14. The breakout hits carry Otome + Female Protagonist + Visual Novel; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2024, and 2 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
