1. Gameplay footage counts as a demo.
2. Demos are not bonus in any sense what so ever.
3. Developers should be the ones to promote their works. Not third party Let's Players.

I have two words of advice to any developer when it comes advertising a video game: Vertical Slice.
Make a demo, weather it be playable or video, that has every feature you think is important to the game. Puzzle solving, combat, stealth, etc.
Also, if you do a video be sure you show the button inputs, best as ingame graphics even if it's not in the final version(people won't notice it but it'll help a lot.
De rein.
Let me know if you ever want play tester, test audience, or voice acting(i have a high quality microphone, I'll do it for free, and this offers goes any game developer).
Also, my review. i didn't get far into the game. the visual are hard to see, which i know is the point but it makes the game uncomfortable to look at. I came across a dude with a knife just standing in the very first path and nothing happened. I was spooked at first, but then just confused. I'll try again but unless there's a way to make the image sharper i don't know how far ill go.
Yeah, and I turned the CTR thing off, seems playable then, but i still find myself squirting my eyes. Development note, make your game mutable, or at least mute itself when in the background.
So i tried again and i have another note, saving. I don't know if it there, but i didn't find it. Put it in, or make it obvious. Yeah, people with cheese the game with it, but it better having to start over every time you start.
Next, I realized something I didn't like. It was too dark. I had trouble seeing the hallway right in front of me. Darkness is a shortcut tool in horror needs to be used correctly. Just as a thought that i saw the cracked door, nicely done having it breadcrumb the player with a red tint. I found the lighter and rolled my eye 'oh boy, the most generic horror genre light source ever'. Played around trying to turn the lighter off. Seems I can only turn it off by dropping it, which is not favorable to anyone expect the monster. After that I quit again, because it's late and time for bed, but i'll try again soon.
One more thing, don't feel bad about my criticisms. I'm not a big fan of horror scary stuff and I'm easily bored. I just read and watch a lot of stuff on development and picked up a couple dozen things. You made a good game. I don't regret buying it. the horror genre needs better games, and I want to help if i can.
