Niches / Horror + Supernatural
Horror + Supernatural
Games tagged both Horror and Supernatural: 262 indie paid launches, 14 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Horror + Supernatural priced $10 to $20.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
Horror + Supernatural is about level with Horror and is about level with Supernatural: 22.2 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 22.2 in 100 for Horror and 20.4 in 100 for Supernatural.
That is about 1.1 times the 20.5 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
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.
The overlap is this niche: the 36 games tagged both Horror and Supernatural priced $10 to $20. 22.2 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 22.2 in 100 for Horror-only games and 2 of 13 for Supernatural-only games, so the mix is about level with Horror alone and is too small to compare with Supernatural alone.
Both: 36 games priced $10 to $20; 22.2 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 81 in 100 · $10k+ 50 in 100 · $100k+ 22 in 100.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 36 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.
