Can you promote in r/horrorgaming?
Quality horror gaming content and discussion.
The short answer
Only mention your product sparingly and transparently (disclose affiliation), post only allowed content types (trailers/analysis) and never advertise unreleased games without prior mod approval — otherwise engage as a regular community member in discussion.
What works here
- Post trailers, behind‑the‑scenes, analysis, countdown videos (must fit Rule 5)
- Discuss horror‑gaming topics and participate in community discussion
- Request mod approval for Early Access or pre‑release promotion
What gets posts removed
- Advertising games before full release or asking for playtesters
- Posting Let's Plays, walkthroughs, compilation or reaction videos
- Spamming repeated promotional comments or posts
- Making posts that are not explicitly horror‑gaming related
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo pre‑release advertising
Rule explicitly forbids indie developers or teams from advertising games until fully completed and released; Early Access allowed only case‑by‑case with moderators.
Limited allowed video types
Only trailers, behind‑the‑scenes, analysis, and countdown videos are permitted (and must not conflict with the pre‑release rule).
No Let's Plays / walkthroughs
Let's Plays, walkthroughs, compilations, and reaction videos are banned and will get you removed.
No spam
Rule bans heavy repeated commenting/posting intended to promote a game.
