from ~12 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: Poppy Playtime at ≈ 3.5M–5.7M 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 8 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 4k.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Arcade (5 of 8) and Horror (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Puzzle. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Singleplayer + Puzzle; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 to 2025, and 2 of your 8 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
