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

6 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Beginner's Guide at ≈ 1.1M–1.9M copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.5M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Puzzle (7 of 8) and Fast-Paced (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Story Rich + Walking Simulator, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Story Rich + Walking Simulator + Narration; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2017. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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 43 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).
