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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Zombie Night Terror at ≈ 167k–271k copies, ≈ $595k–$1.6M 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 (8 of 8) and Lemmings (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Zombies + Puzzle, priced around $13. The breakout hits carry Zombies + Pixel Graphics + Horror; 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).
