really good games marketing thread about our Steam co-working game On-Together
despite a slower start at Next fest the game is now getting strong traction on socials and wishlists are picking up
especially TikTok, Rednote and Twitter taking off
(shoutout to Louisa and crew for all the hit posts)

You can see on the wishlist graph the direct effect of the different social posts/events/articles
💚 = TikTok
💙= Twitter
💗 = RedNote
❤️ = Steam event
💛 = Article
Social posting surpasses the effect of any Steam event 🫣
