It hasn’t even been two weeks and no one has heard of it, so maybe advertising might help.
I think we’re the advertising
This game touched my balls as i slept
If imma be an advertisement i do it my way.
See, now I’m interested!
Made by 3 of the guys behind 9/11!
Well their last project was a success
I’m Commander Shepard, and and this is my favorite game on the Citadel!
Ding correct answer. And the article itself of course.
What’s the name of the game?
Nobody knows for sure, some people are whispering that it’s half life 3
We’re not the advertising. Streamers are the advertising. If the publisher didn’t spend money on trying to promote this on Twitch and/or Youtube, they aren’t doing their job.
Splattercatgaming just released a video a day ago, so these guys are impatient.
There must be some sort of first-week spike they expected to see?
You can usually calculate that from wishlists.
Well the game is ARCO and only available on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
Also have not heard of it but might look it up.
Love that it’s not in the title…
It’s called a ‘clickbait’.
Direct link to steam page is here.
Just beat the game.
God damn it’s good. The only way I knew about it was because I was checking Steam new releases. Please god understand that this would have sold with better advertising.
they should fire their publisher then
Never heard of it.
There are so many games being made, it’s hard to tell what’s good and what’s trash. Review sites can’t review everything. User reviews are suspect. I don’t know what the solution is.
User reviews are suspect.
This is one of the reasons I’m glad that Steam started cracking down on reviews that were just some stupid ASCII art and reviews that were just one big joke – neither of them help people understand whether a game is good and there’s just so much of that trash in the reviews. It’s a small change but so far it’s been positive.
Marketing has been rough lately. I stopped using reviews sites for the most part. A lot of the time I could not tell if there was any integrity in the reviews posted or if it was just a paid Ad. I rely a lot more on word of mouth and watching my favorite streamers play a game before even considering it. I get the devs struggle. How do you grab my attention when the market is full of these types of games and it’s hard to differentiate at a glance.
Also, this game from the article is the type of game I wait until a steam sale before buying.
Looks like a nice game. Will try the demo at least. Demos being a thing again is so good.
We hadn’t heard of the game. It’s not that it won’t sell, it’s that it wasn’t advertised before now.
Steam never showed me this game. It said I have never played a game like it.
I’ve played arpgs, tactical RPGs, and crpgs,
What more do you need steam?
Pixel RPGs? Western RPGs?
I guess steam thinks the target audience is people that played Red Dead Redemption on steam.
Looks terrible.
