Hey there! I'm an indie dev who knows how much it sucks to work hard on a game for years and then struggle to find influencers to play your game when you release it. That's why I'm creating a youtube channel and steam curator to review every single game I am sent. They'll be quick reviews. They'll be unedited. I may not have any nice things to say if it's just like a buggy asset flip. But they will be a legitimate review, on youtube, delivered promptly after receipt of a steam key, which I know from experience is a valuable thing to receive on release day.
I know there's a ton of games added to steam but I think a small fraction will actually find me and send me a key so starting out... this should be completely doable unless this really takes off. I'm talking like install the game, hit record on OBS, play and commentate for like 3 min tops (youtube 10min+ algorithm be damned), stop recording and upload that bad boy and leave a review on the curator page. I'm a realistic guy so I'm not promising much. If I actually enjoy the game I may play a few minutes longer for funsies.
The channel is
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU3K9zJ_kGx6Tq8wZUuVMswMy only criteria is that your game is either unreleased (make sure you send a beta/press key and tell me when you want the video released) or was released less than 3 months ago. I also won't record and upload bad stuff that's gonna get me flagged on YouTube or something so don't even try that.
So yeah! Please add
[email protected] to your press list and hit me up when you're about to release - I'd love to play your game.
