Thanks for sharing. I too struggle with getting the word out for my games and have experienced similar levels of success.

Some unsolicited feedback,

1. I watched the trailer and came away with no clue what your game is actually about. Ideally it would tip your hand a bit more

2. I didn't find the trailer very compelling, either. In fact if anything it made me skeptical that this game was going to be some crazy political message.

3. With that being said, I thought I'd learn more about the game but didn't see any easy way to do so from the YouTube page or from your website. Add a link in the description and put the game in the top level navigation for your site.

4. The art style seems cool at least.

Best of luck, I hope you share more about your experiences as they develop.

Thank you for the excellent feedback! We were hoping to have a dedicated site for the game before the launch, but the realities of being a three man development team (or, bad planning) made that impossible.

Thanks for sharing this.

Will you be planning a gameplay video? I think it's particularly difficult for viewers to extract value from non-gameplay trailers/teasers involving new IP.

Can you explain an embargoed press release?

Is it:

a) giving your "favorite" journalist(s) an exclusive time period to make announcements,

b) a heads up of when you will be submitting the press release,

c) a firm "time" when you'd like all press/media to hold stories before publishing?

If you're heading to GDC, good luck! It sounds like an exciting conference.
