What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 11k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 693 to 13k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (7 of 8) and Psychological Horror (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Multiple Endings + Comedy, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2012 to 2024, and 1 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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).
