while this is not a commercial product it will not promote itself.
so one of the best way to figure out where and how to market is to see what works and how.
so I checked another very successful text game that is similar to this one. how successful? it sold 20k copies in the last two years and raised the games price.
so where did he get most of his traffic? 95% of it is from YouTubers reviewing his game.
the rest was directories like moddb,roguebasin and a medium blog, he also has a Twitter with a few thousand followers and a subreddit for the game with 2k people and daily interactions.
in an interview (also on youtube) he said he contacted a 1000 YouTubers to review his game.
his seo is not very good as you find other stuff when you search for his game and a lot of results are unrelated.
thata a name problem.
but in short, youtube is a great traffic source even for a text-based game.
but that's for a later time as i want to develop this project's platform so it's easy to get into and well developed.
