Do No Harm is a Lovecraftian medical sim where every diagnosis tests your morality—and your sanity. Will you save your patients or lose yourself?

Some exciting stuff is happening in the background that is taking most of my time.
I'll talk about that later. But for now, here is my question for you:
If you had $40k for marketing budget, a good demo and a nice trailer, what would you spend that on?

Today we added in Anomaly and Sanity systems. Miss an Anomaly brought by patients, and your Sanity drops—along with eerie hallucinations creeping in.
If your Sanity hits zero, an interesting (and creepy!) ending awaits.

Today, I had to defend myself on why I have unreleased games, and I'm promoting another one. The question itself is valid for sure, but the nature of our work is so that not every project is equal, and not every project works.
I don't want to delist my other projects, as I'll make them. But in time
