About half the games that made it here had over 6 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 335.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on FMV (7 of 8) and Choose Your Own Adventure (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Investigation + Typing, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Choices Matter + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2022, and none of them 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
