    Get them to do a monotone voiceover of that game where you have to run through gates to do basic arithmetic and pump it full of micro transactions and unskippable ads

    Best way to go is by identifying influencers who align with our genre and resonate with their followers, providing exclusive early access to our game for authentic content creation, and hosting interactive livestreams and community events where influencers engage directly with fans to drive genuine excitement and interest.

    For now I am developing a psychological horror game called “Sorrowfield”. We have a lot of things to do, I am working with GameLab KBTU to promote my game further, maybe to find publisher or investors.

    Something I've seen large scale developers do is give a sponsored copy of the game to TWITCH streamers who enjoy games of a similar nature. For instance if your making a horror game, find someone who plays games like Resident Evil or Dead Space, and enjoys them. Reach out to them about a sponsored stream where they play your game and, hopefully enjoy it while showing it off to their audience who are interested in that sort of game.
