Niches / 3D Platformer + Psychological Horror

Niche

3D Platformer + Psychological Horror

Games tagged both 3D Platformer and Psychological Horror: 110 indie paid launches, 3 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

  • A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 26,291 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 76 games tagged both 3D Platformer and Psychological Horror priced under $5. 0 of 76 of them earned $100k+, against 3 of 902 for 3D Platformer-only games and 1.2 in 100 for Psychological Horror-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 3D Platformer alone and is too small to compare with Psychological Horror alone.

Both: 76 games priced under $5; 0 of 76 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 34 in 100 · $10k+ 3 of 76 launches · $100k+ 0 of 76 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 76 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
