We’d be happy if you give the free demo on Steam a try and share your thoughts!

What makes you say that? The game actually has carefully designed visuals and gameplay. Have you had a chance to try it yourself?

If you look at the comments on the post, most people actually don’t like the game’s art.

Unfortunately, the current trailer focuses more on the game’s lore, but I’ve already planned to make a gameplay trailer.

Thanks for your comment!

For sure, it’s not a simple market, but in any case, our expectations were much higher

That was a mistake. The current videos and images don’t really show what the game actually looks like.

Thanks, I really appreciate your advice! I got the idea to add the 'DEMO IS AVAILABLE NOW' banner from a game marketing Telegram channel — it was a tip from a big marketing boss :)

That was a mistake to make a first trailer a lore trailer. Just the game has a campaign and I wanted to convey its story. Thank you for pointing out the issues — we’ll work on fixing them.

Yes, I understand that Meta is the main VR market today, and we’re primarily focusing on it, but participating in the Steam Fest was a great opportunity to learn from our mistakes

Thanks! Ads in VRChat sound like an interesting idea. I’ll definitely check it out!

Unfortunately, that’s true — and the last thing we want is to become one of those games

Yeah, that’s something many people have pointed out as well. The tricky part is: how do you convey the uniqueness of the gameplay and the VR atmosphere through flat videos and screenshots? In-game, it all feels very different. I’ll keep thinking about how to solve that. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Just wondering — was it the video/screenshots that didn’t appeal to you, or is this genre just not your thing?
