Cozy + Hidden Object

Games tagged both Cozy and Hidden Object: 134 indie paid launches, 5 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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 125 games tagged both Cozy and Hidden Object priced under $5. 0 of 125 of them earned $100k+, against 4.1 in 100 for Cozy-only games and 1 of 911 for Hidden Object-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Cozy alone and is too small to compare with Hidden Object alone.

Both: 125 games priced under $5; 0 of 125 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $917.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 125 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.
