A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

≈ $118k–$497k after Steam's cut

from ~656 reviews

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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Doki Doki Literature Club! at ≈ 7.8M–12.7M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 97 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 32 to 172.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Visual Novel (8 of 8) and Anime (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Psychological Horror + Visual Novel. The breakout hits carry Psychological Horror + Dating Sim + Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2012 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.
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 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).
