Niche

Demons + Survival Horror

Games tagged both Demons and Survival Horror: 54 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.

Showing Demons + Survival Horror priced $5 to $10.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 25 games tagged both Demons and Survival Horror priced $5 to $10. 1 of 25 of them earned $100k+, against 0 of 85 for Demons-only games and 7.8 in 100 for Survival Horror-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Demons alone and is too small to compare with Survival Horror alone.

Both: 25 games priced $5 to $10; 1 of 25 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 17 of 25 launches · $10k+ 3 of 25 launches · $100k+ 1 of 25 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 25 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.
