This game is among top horror games in itch.io, can I ask how did you market your game?, and gathered an audience, cuz I wanna make a horror game but I don't seem to get the idea of getting downloads or clout. I thought might just ask a successful person to gather information for my game.
Thanks a lot for playing. Marketing... it's pain in the ass(kinda). So for people to play your game, you will hear everywhere that you have to build audience and it's true. I frequently posted on twitter about game dev progress and that type of stuff(about my game), sometimes posted on reddit and that's it for my social media. Build a audience and post to people who like similar stuff as you(so like horror stuff and/or PSX style), gotta have a target audience. Interact with other devs on twitter comment and just honestly like and interact with stuff you like. Use proper #hastags like indiedev and similar(go look what type of hastags to use or use same as I use or other game devs), post everyweek on #screenshotsaturday or something like that and #followfriday theres that # for every day in week, and post with that hashtags and repost your tweet to other posts that give a space for you to share. Don't JUST market, cause people will tell that you only want to sell them something. You have to be genuine and yourself. When I published my game i sent a short and honest post/message to couple of game dev discords, posted on twitter, posted on every game dev subreddit that I am and that's it. I did messages first, published the game and then started just clicking post on everything. It might be a mess hope you will understand, here's a accouple of links that might be helpful:
That's basically what I did and do. Also just google, search on YouTube and find on reddit "How to promote a game" and you will find pretty good stuff, stuff that I watched and learned from.
Hello friend, this game is super fun, CONGRATULATIONS, I want you to subscribe to my channel and support me, your help is important to me, count on me for other games, a super greeting!
Absolutely ruined me with that settings menu thing.. but really enjoyed the game! Great atmosphere and ambience which made it so much scarier! Great work
Really did enjoy this short horror game, more than I thought I would honestly! The scenery, music, everything just fit very well. This is a game I would go buy to play. Very enjoyable experience, keep it up!!! can't wait for more. I played it on my youtube channel as well :)
Hi everyone, i recently recorded thios game! It have an amazing atmosphere and the scary config got me good man 🤣 The language is PORTUGUESE - BRAZILIAN <3
Great game! Enough suspense to make you jump at the smallest things! There was an funny moment in the game I will leave for you to find whether you play it or if you watch the game play. I loved sharing this game with my community <3 Keep up the amazing work!
