"Delay the game!" they said. "It'll be better!" they said.

Well... you won. We delayed it, and now Rulebound is joining Steam Next Fest!

When was the last time you went to the theatre?

House of Tides is a psychological sci-fi horror game set inside a forgotten theatre beneath a drowned world.

I’m building it solo, and I need your help to make it real.

[House of Tides @Houseoftidesgme]

@CollinHarsin Sure!

Here is the campaign pre-launch page, which is a simplified version of the main one. Let me know if you would like to see the main campaign page as well.

Thanks!

1,000 Steam wishlists.

Getting here from 700 has been slow, one wishlist at a time. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who saw something special in House of Tides.

Night Shift, a demo with its own story, comes in October with Steam Next Fest and the Kickstarter.

@CollinHarsin Thank you! Really appreciate that. And thanks for mentioning the text at the end, that is useful feedback. I’ll take it into account and make sure the Kickstarter and wishlist message is much clearer in the next version.

Thank you!

In my case, the most effective thing was building a trailer that could prove the game’s story, visual direction and core mechanics. The game is already in development (very early though) and I had the script, but not enough of the full production to show yet because it depends on future funding.

I sent the trailer to media and creators. Only a couple of notable outlets picked it up, but IGN made the biggest difference and brought in 700+ wishlists in about six days.

Since then growth has slowed, so I’m focused on the demo and on connecting organically with indie and horror audiences.

@ThreeFrauds Than you! There is still a long way ahead 💪🏼

[House of Tides @Houseoftidesgme]

@aesthetica_s Thank you! This is just the bottom of the mountain though, but it feels good

@nader_shahii 💪🏼⚡️

[House of Tides @Houseoftidesgme]

@RealMazaroth When IGN featured my trailer I reached ~700 wishlists in 6 days. I am really grateful for that, and since then growth has gone back to normal. It takes a real effort to keep pushing it up isn’t it? 🙌🏻
