          This game is a shameless asset flip, my guess is every single asset is store bought. The narrator is also text-to-speech. The definition of low effort yet streamers eat it up because "lol you fall and lose 3 hours of progress".

          Looking into it, this seems like a shameless ripoff of Getting Over It, which was only ever interesting because it was unique. This shit really is just streamer bait.

    Pretty funny how there's an entire genre of intentionally shitty streamerbait platformers now.
    They are all designed to be watched and not played.

      And then they have the "oh oh Streamer, you need to turn off the stream here, this ending is le secret"-shit going on to convince stream watchers to buy and play the game themselves.

      Celeste was actually good and fun to play. Watching a streamer play it would be boring as frick.

      Those are actual video games made by human hand designed to be played by actual humans (not stre*mers).

    Good indies has a longevity of sticking around while FOTW indies takes itself out. I've seen a few streamers I follow play that slop and I question why.

      Games are meant to sell the most during the first 2 weeks.
      After that you just get peanuts so it makes sense to pander to big streamers.

        This game only has 2k Steam reviews.
        Which is not horrible since there are plenty of indie games on Steam that have <100 reviews, but that's still pretty small given how big the game is on Twitch and YouTube.
        The vast vast majority of people are only interested in watching it, they would never even think about playing it themselves.

          Your game getting streamed to 20K is huge big marketing.
          People who wouldn't even know your game even existed.

            Again it's better than most indie games on Steam, there are literally thousands of games that never get any attention. But it's still way worse than indie titles that get any sort of legitimate traction. This ain't Hollow Knight, Celeste, Hotline Miami, Don't Starve, Cave Story, etc. People will forget about it the instant it stops being streamed.
            The dev probably got a decent return on investment since the game was clearly cheaply made, in probably only a few months.

      Playing games takes effort.
      I can just watch my favourite eceleb do it for me while I donate my wagecuck money and pretend I have friends for more dopamine.
