The middle of these games

≈ 3k copies

≈ $2k–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~90 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: 100 hidden mushrooms at ≈ 12k–20k copies, ≈ $3k–$9k 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 19 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 7 to 45.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Clicker (6 of 8) and Exploration (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Hidden Object, priced around $1. The breakout hits carry Family Friendly + Casual + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
