A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

The middle of these games

≈ 189–260 copies

≈ $502–$1k after Steam's cut

from ~6 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: I'm on Observation Duty 5 at ≈ 20k–33k copies, ≈ $55k–$149k 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 2 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 152.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Puzzle (8 of 8) and Match 3 (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Mystery + Adventure + Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2010 to 2023, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
