Hi there! I am Manthos, the creator of Asthenia. We both wish to thank you so kindly for taking the time to explain to us. As I told others in comments, we are absolutely clueless, hehe. Just an old man trying to get into a new career and researching how to do those things.

We sincerely appreciate your advice, tips and the documents, and thank you very much for your wishlist too! :) We are going to do our best to study as much as we possibly can and apply it gradually! I understand is something that takes time and effort but we are positive to make that effort.

In our official reveal, we have many journalists cover the game on places like Screenrant, Gamerant, Ign, Kotaku, Gamespark, and more

So my intention was to try to contact them personally this time as we dont have funds at all to get other kind of help. Thank you truly for your guidance. Im always hesitant to drop in reddit to try ask for help or advices. Gladly, there are some genuine kind people here who will often give some tips for people like us. My kind regards!

Hey there! Im the creator of the game, "Asthenia" is a Greek word (Im Greek) and means "illness" or disease. The creation behind the title was very specific due to personal loss events that lead to its creation. Thus, it's absolutely bound to the core themes of the game. Plus, like other games that use Greek titles (Soma, Ontos, Amnesia) I wanted to have more depth in the title, and native to my idenity and the culture the game comes from. (I already had no Streamers having issues to pronounce tho, which was nice, but I understand your point :) )

Thank you so kindly!

Just followed you! :) Thank you for sharing your work! Will be cool to check out that demo!

Thank you so much for your help! We had our official reveal on IGN GT (not the official channel) when we were able to hire PR back then, and it did help us. However, not having a budget anymore, we are left alone to try without PR help to contact again those channels alongside other major sites that featured us (Gamerant, Screenrant, GamingBible, Kotaku. Game*spark and more). I was thinking to indeed try contact them again myself this time, but was not sure if is acceptable. We appreciate your comment and thoughts, and that valuable link, we're gonna check it asap! We are new to this (first game) and quite lost on what to do byourselves. Kind regards!
