≈ $1.2M–$2.2M after Steam's cut

from ~17k 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: We Were Here at ≈ 1.1M–1.8M 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 3k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 724 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Mystery (8 of 8) and Puzzle (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Escape Room. The breakout hits carry Co-op Campaign + Free to Play + Horror; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 to 2022, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
