About half the games that made it here had over 40 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 15 to 796.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Idler (8 of 8) and Underwater (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Creature Collector + Idler, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Economy + Fishing + Creature Collector; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 5 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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).
