≈ 180k–252k copies

≈ $1.3M–$1.7M after Steam's cut

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Fran Bow at ≈ 1.1M–1.8M copies, ≈ $4.6M–$12.4M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Your set clusters on Female Protagonist (6 of 8) and Point & Click (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Psychological Horror + Story Rich, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Psychological Horror + Indie + Dark; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2011 to 2021, 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).
