The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Simulation (7 of 8) and Cooking (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Simulation + Time Management, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Pixel Graphics + Faith + Anime; 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
