Online Co-Op + Psychological Horror

Games tagged both Online Co-Op and Psychological Horror: 87 indie paid launches, 16 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 14 games tagged both Online Co-Op and Psychological Horror priced $10 to $20. 4 of 14 of them earned $100k+, against 40.6 in 100 for Online Co-Op-only games and 26.2 in 100 for Psychological Horror-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Online Co-Op alone and is too small to compare with Psychological Horror alone.

Both: 14 games priced $10 to $20; 4 of 14 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 12 of 14 launches · $10k+ 8 of 14 launches · $100k+ 4 of 14 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 14 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.
