About metroidvanias on YouTube & Twitch

Metroidvania creators often do blind multi-part playthroughs, 100% runs and boss-focused videos. Their viewers come for exploration and difficulty, so the channels are a good fit when your map and movement are your selling points.

How to pitch creators who played Hollow Knight: Silksong

  1. Open with the comparison: “You played Hollow Knight: Silksong recently; my game is for the same players because…” Name the specific video or stream you watched.
  2. Highlight a movement ability or traversal idea that looks good in a thumbnail.
  3. Say how long a first playthrough is so they can plan a series (e.g. 8–12 episodes).
  4. Mention boss count and difficulty options; boss videos are reliable views for these channels.
  5. Offer the key 1–2 weeks before launch so episodes are ready on release day.
  6. Keep it short: one-line hook, a 30–60s gameplay clip, a Steam link, and a key or key-request link. Follow up once, a week later.
