A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

Does this actually work?

We left Buy a Croquette! out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Buy a Croquette!'s, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1k–2k
best case 49k (The Crooked Man)
The Horror lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 2k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 2k copies
≈ $4k after Steam's cut
from ~59 reviews
Best case
≈ 49k copies
The Crooked Man · ≈ $57k after Steam's cut
from 1k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Casual, priced around $3.
  • The breakout hits carry Casual; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Silver ($10k–$250k). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
