Your set: Your set clusters on Clicker (8 of 8) and Simulation (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Clicker, priced around $4. The breakout hits carry 1990's + Retro + Dystopian ; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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).
