1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

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

Best case: Amazing Frog? at ≈ 655k–1.1M copies, ≈ $3.6M–$9.7M 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 34 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 6 to 139.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Choose Your Own Adventure (4 of 8) and Action-Adventure (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action-Adventure, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Action-Adventure + Action + Beat 'em up; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2025, and 1 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
