The middle of these games

≈ 5k–23k copies

≈ $13k–$32k after Steam's cut

from ~342 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: I'm on Observation Duty 4 at ≈ 21k–34k copies, ≈ $29k–$78k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 38 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 21 to 152.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Puzzle (7 of 8) and Mystery (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Psychological Horror + Horror, priced around $5.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
