≈ 377k–479k copies

≈ $1.8M–$3.7M 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: Portal at ≈ 12.5M–20.4M copies, ≈ $34.5M–$92.6M 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 Female Protagonist (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle-Platformer + Puzzle, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Puzzle-Platformer + Horror + Dark; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2007 to 2020, 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).
