I’ve been working on Abaddon, (a first person Lovecraftian horror game) for Almost 4 years now, this journey has been amazing, I can’t believe It’s almost ready for release! If you are into horror games please consider wishlisting it as it helps me out a lot! Thank you all so much for the support ❤️

    Quick feedback on the experience of casually browsing to your steam page: the trailer that autoplays spends the first ~20s being mostly just black. First person view of running and then hiding in a closet, then black, then a very dimly lit room, with cuts to what looks like the player inspecting a doll. I can’t have sound on right now, so I don’t know if there is interesting audio happening.

    I highly recommend those first few seconds of the autoplay trailer showing something more compelling. IMO the best case outcome for someone in my shoes is, I see something in those first few seconds that makes me go “oooo, hell yeah, that looks interesting” and I click Add to Wishlist. Instead my first thought was “there’s no way this has just been black for 20s” and checked my brightness settings to see if I was missing something.

      Hi thank you for checking it out and thank you for the feedback!

      I am working on a new trailer at the moment, Although I must say, I think you might have a bug, there are no more than 3 consecutive seconds where it’s all just black, it may show things differently on some devices.

      Either way this trailer is temporary, I’m not that good at marking / trailers and stuff, and I know it is very important.

      Will try to put up a more impressive trailer soon , thanks again 🙏🏽
