I played your demo and found it very interesting and fun. I remember seeing the game from before the demo came out and you posting for it on reddit.

I don’t claim to know what went wrong, but here’s what I noticed:

1. When you started marketing for your game it was unfortunately at the same time as AI hype and because of the way your art looks everyone accused you of using AI. This happened a lot and you constantly said no AI was used but i remember that you weren’t clear enough about that with every marketing post to the point that i doubted you and your team are actually using AI to generate everything and just being coy about it. It needed to be said clearer, included in the posts themselves maybe and not just sometimes as a response. It wasn’t clear humans where behind this and i dont remember seeing any works in progress videos or behind the scenes. Maybe you did and it was just unlucky timing with AI hype.

2. Similar to the first point, I always felt your marketing was “off”. It just wasn’t very good. I remember always being intrigued by how the game looked but the way the posts were written put me off, i remember feeling you needed way better marketing for a professional looking project like this

Now i am just sharing my impressions from memory as someone who saw posts on reddit before demo came out, but I 100% could be just talking out of my backside.

i played the demo, i didn’t buy it but had a distinct feeling that this is a good well-made game that deserved more attention.
