≈ $4k–$21k after Steam's cut

from ~290 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: Ropuka's Idle Island at ≈ 106k–172k copies, ≈ $116k–$312k 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 52 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 9 to 930.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Utilities (8 of 8) and Idler (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Idler + Cozy, priced around $4. The breakout hits carry Building + Clicker + Nature; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 5 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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).
