≈ $5k–$14k after Steam's cut

from ~72 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Word Game: Episode 0 at ≈ 113k–184k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 20 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 3 to 171.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on 2D Platformer (6 of 8) and Choose Your Own Adventure (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Choose Your Own Adventure. The breakout hits carry Minimalist + Free to Play + RPG; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, and 2 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

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).
