I only recently learned of this games existence because it was mentioned in a recent Penny-Arcade blog. If not for that blog I would not have known this game even existed and would have missed out on it. So yeah, this game isn't selling bad because it lacks an audience, but because its audience doesn't know it exists and its a real shame.
Hopefully I'm not the only one who read that penny arcade blog and is now checking this game out, and rest assured I do plan on telling people about the game to help on the word of mouth front, but the game really could use some more advertising then it seems its gotten so far. Its always tough for a relatively unknown company with a low budget to do the advertising necessary to compete with the big name companies, but you need to really do SOMETHING. Your not going to reach everyone on a low budget, but if you have have a quality product, all it takes is to reach a few here and there and word of mouth can start a chain that ends in tons of new players. You've already got the hard part done, your selling a quality game, the trick now is advertising in enough places to intrigue the first few who will start the chain.
