For a very niche gamejam, and as a Dev with no real social media presence (I have like sub 20 twitter followers lolz), I'm surprised at those stats. Tbh I didn't expect more than 20 views/plays!  ( I also did some reddit, but didn't get any click throughs - my reddit-fu is bad).

Most of my hits come from itch.io directly - through the front page/popular & new and for people looking at some of the tags I have (including Xmas, cyberpunk, interactive fiction). Some come from people playing my other more popular game (Mazeborn). And a few from ifdb.com.

I think the Xmas theme and the cyberpunk theme timing have contributed to the overperfomance, although I don't really know if it's an overperfomance unless other jam submitters share their stats (and how much social media they've pushed this on!).

I think overall though, given some of the questions I've had, more people are discovering Adventuron (and text adventures) through this, and that can't be a bad thing.

Really glad to hear your game is outperforming your expectations. 

Happy New Year.

FWIW, I've had 119 views, 7 downloads, 63 browser plays and it's been very quiet over the last week or so. Your game is far outperforming mine in teams of analytics. I haven't done any promotion yet, because I haven't uploaded the final version.

I am also surprised by the number of hits on my game from itch.io itself. It's double the next source (which is facebook)!
