PLS advise a solo hobbyist on marketing

[xxn1927]

I never thought that I would find myself in this position, but here I am. I caught the "writer's bug" and now I am working hard on a RenPy project, which will be an interactive book in which the story will be delivered via backgrounds and text.

There is nothing out there (at least that I am aware of) that deals with grannies, and this is what the project is focused on. As the protagonist (first person, young female of drinking age) you will have the opportunity for various encounters in which you choose how to engage or react to. There will be some tough choices, psychological and philosophical undertones, dealing with loss and some others.

It is a very niche project but will satisfy a great hunger in those who are into "that kind of stuff."

So, the help I am asking for is: can you advise me on how to let people know about my project in an efficient manner? My intent is to release it on Steam.

You can do like room34 said and wait for them to find you, given your very niche appeal. If you want to be a bit more proactive, however:

Try and find forums/discords/communities with the fetish you're into/making a game for in this case. Participate in the community for half an hour every day, if you can (ideally more). Shill your game when appropriate - with the mods consent, of course. Or even start your own discord around the subject you're working with, though that's significantly more work.
