And... What does this have to do with Steam? What are you trying to tell us here ?

If you are trying to advertise it be advised that advertising is against Steam Discussion Guidelines.

EDIT: seeing as you are listed as Developer that's exactly what you are trying to do.

I don't think this is against the rules. I mean. Advertising a product on Steam, on Steam. Meh. Maybe it is Maybe it isn't buuut this game just got on my Wishlist, so I'm glad.

Straight up against the rules, and the fact that you posted this in teh FNAF forums aka a competitors forum makes it extra bad.

OP advertised their game on the Fnaf game hub as well.

OP Well can't argue. that this does cross a line.
But Hey OP. Might I suggest reaching out to Youtubers like THeftking, and Gamersault. Their channels aree pretty much devoted to games like this. You can try MattpAtt from game theory, but I hear his rates are pretty high. :P


Also. Consider actually reaching out to other devs for a bit of cross/joint promotions.
Last bit of advice. Do a free demo/prologue for the game.

You know a quick maybe 1 Night' thing to give people a whiff of what they can expect. Something like 'what happened to the last guy that wandered into the spooky murder cabin before the protag of the main game' bonus points if you can use the prologue as a narrative as well as gameplay hook.

Well that certainly crosses a line ...in a semi-truck.

Steam does not need another FNAF clone, there is already enough of those.

[Cathulhu]

Looks like a cheap asset flip.

[Mad Scientist]

Another fnaf/hello neighbor ripoff? No thanks.

Definitely looks like that.

Probably shouldn't go around advertising your game in other game creators spaces like the fnaf forums, either.
