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: Cat God Ranch at ≈ 54k–88k copies, ≈ $150k–$402k 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 58 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 33 to 999.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

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).
