Steam Next Fest without an audience ? What should i do ?

So, guys, as a tender, aspiring indie developer, I've been working on my game for the last year. I pre-registered for SteamNextFest to show the world my creation. But I only recently realized how blindly I'd been making the game and neglecting marketing.

A quick overview of the game ZONE L.O.S.T. - co-op extraction horror - 4 scientists (the fat one gets stuck in doorways, the tall one can't hide under the table, the short one can't reach the table, the disabled one is disabled - all scientists. An emergency occurs in the labs, and you need to escape the complex by first setting the labs to self-destruct).

I released the game's page 10 days ago, and I currently have 125 wishlists without marketing, and I'm currently polishing my game for the fest. But I just realized that without an audience, the game might simply drown out among 2,000 other games at the fest.

WHAT SHOULD I DO!?

I've also been thinking about collaborating with publishers. How can I find a publisher?

I made a escaping co-op game where every character is physically wrong for the situation — fat guy, tall guy, short guy, wheelchair. Oh and there's a banana chasing you.

4 scientists triggered a self-destruct sequence and now have to escape 5 levels of lab before it blows up.

One is too fat to fit through doors. One is too tall to hide under tables. One is too short to reach anything on tables. One is in a wheelchair. Yes, really.

Everything in the lab has physics — couches, desks, cabinets, chairs. Stack them, hide behind them, use them to survive from monsters. Oh, and there's a banana chasing you.

Co-op horror ZONE L.O.S.T. — still working on it.
