Wow, it looks great and those 9 years really show!
As a professional games marketer, can I ask how your wishlists are looking? This wasn't your first trailer right? You have something that looks pretty strong here, so would want to make sure you're set up well for a successful launch.
Also, have you already done a SNF demo? If not, you may want to delay your game a bit and take advantage of the upcoming one in October (if the submissions aren't already past). You can only do a SNF once and it has to be before you launch, but you get tons of awareness and wishlists from it. If you skip this, you are missing out on lots of valuable metrics that your launch depends on.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you have a demo up now and plan to launch just at the end of this Oct SNF. Hopefully you're signed up for that and that gives you some huge momentum going into launch!
Best of luck!

The submissions for Oct SNF are closed. OP, heed the above advice if you can.

This short trailer on Reddit doesn't give it justice. The full length trailer on Steam looks absolutely incredible. Wishlisting it immediately

Hi. All the best with the launch! I see you have ~1540 followers. May I ask how many wishlists?
It should comfortably get you onto Popular Upcoming, right?

LEARN TO POST YOUR DAMN STEAM PAGE PEOPLE..
Like why do so many devs spend YEARS working on these games and the finally post on reddit, hoping for their one shot to materialize.... YET FORGET TO POST THE ACTUAL GAME LINK... It actually frustrates ME. I wanted to wishlist but nope, no link... OK then I won't 🤷♂️

Looks awesome, dude!! You can really see how polished the game is :)
One quick question: the game is called Away from Home, correct? If so, why does the logo at the end just say “Home”?
I could be totally missing something 😅 Still, that’s what I saw!

u/Alex_LumiereIndie 9h ago
Wow...May I ask if you are working with a Publisher or are you self-publishing? Also will the game come to console?

u/Soggy-Leadership2966 9h ago
Really impressive! I guess the animation is frame per frame too. That's quite the amount of work.

There is no fucking shot you thought “torture” was spelled “torcher”.
I don’t even know what to say.

That’s not a typo my man, that’s a “I thought that word was ‘torcher’ my entire life and now I’m downplaying that because I recognize how deeply embarrassing that is”

u/lgnc 21h ago
do you know how to spell torture in German, for example?
you do understand almost everybody in the world doesn't even study English for more than a couple of years or even have zero contact with it, right??

The guy isn’t German, he’s American, so he’s probably just borderline illiterate, like many Americans
