The middle of these games

≈ 194k–295k copies

≈ $1.7M–$3.0M after Steam's cut

from ~8k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series at ≈ 1.2M–1.9M copies, ≈ $16.0M–$42.9M 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 615 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 171 to 9k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Story Rich (5 of 8) and Choices Matter (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Choices Matter + Story Rich, priced around $35. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Comic Book + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
Only 1 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
