All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Horror (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Among Us at ≈ 22.7M–36.8M copies, ≈ $31.1M–$83.6M 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 6k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 4k to 8k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (4 of 8) and Social Deduction (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Social Deduction + Space, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Space + 2D + Funny; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
