Need help identifying "the hook" of my game
Here's a link to my BGG wip post about the game: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3477748/wip-pain-mountain-solo-campaign-pnp-minimal-crafti
I'm interested in knowing what angle I should start with when talking/promoting the game. I would obviously like the hook to be that it's the best game in it's genre, but there's so many tactical combat/dungeon crawl/solo games out there, I feel like that's not a unique thing to say about the game. Even if it was true.
Please let me know which one(s) of these "factual" statements would "hook" you in to trying the game:
Pain Mountain is a tactical combat fantasy campaign PnP game and...
A) it's free
B) it's played in-hand
C) it has a minimal environmental footprint
D) it autosaves itself and has no setup/teardown
E) it requires minimal crafting
F) it's fully deterministic
Or would a better hook/tagline be something like:
"Gloomhaven's engine, Sudoku's interface"
"10 boss battles in your pocket"
"High difficulty, small footprint"
"Souls-like optimization puzzle"
...or a combination of these?
Hard to tell what people find interesting. It's a very niche game to begin with (solo PnP), it's not for everyone and that's totally fine.
Thank you in advance!
