We announced the game in June 2022, obtaining a slot on the GamesRadar Future Games Show for the big reveal. Our efforts were very fruitful, delivering coverage from high-profile and respected publications like Eurogamer, Nintendo Life, Rock Paper Shotgun, Gematsu and more. A later preview beat conducted via a Discord event we organised saw further excellent coverage, with Eurogamer calling the game “riotous, simplistic fun”. 

We accompanied Eastshade Studios throughout the campaign. With no marketing budget and no other communications staff in-house, we had a very targeted PR campaign for the game, positioning it as a non-violent 3D exploration game, or “Skyrim: Photo Mode”.

We accompanied carrotcake from the initial reveal, to the Kickstarter campaign, and beyond. With no marketing budget or studio-side comms staff, we had a very targeted PR campaign for the game’s initial announcement, positioning it as a “cozy slice-of-life sim about the joys of gardening”. Featured by Eurogamer, PC Gamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more, the first campaign was a huge success.

We announced the game in April 2020, both on the PR and community fronts, including setting up a Reddit AMA which made it to the global front page and doubling the social following in a few weeks. The reveal was covered in the top-tier media, and The Verge and Edge Magazine published long form interview features. Dordogne also got mainstream non-gaming coverage in France. Dordogne was one of the most anticipated games by Polygon, GamesRadar+, Fanbyte and Der Spiegel.
