What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 130 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 31 to 329.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Social Deduction (5 of 8) and Survival (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Social Deduction + Space, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Space + Psychological + Online Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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).
