First Game to Gain Traction After several published games in itch.io

After participating in several game jams over the past few years — experimenting, failing, learning, and building — I finally made a game that’s getting real attention!

Click-Through Rate (CTR): It’s the percentage of people who saw my game’s page link (impressions) and actually clicked on it.

While it’s not a commercial hit, the community response has been incredibly motivating. People are finding it through itch.io tags, jam pages, and even YouTube.

This game was born out of a horror jam, and seeing players enjoy it — leaving feedback, collecting it, and even recommending it — is a huge win for me as a solo dev.

Next step? Keep building, keep improving, and maybe… monetize the next one. 😉
