Visible market evidence

2 validated creator videos across 1 channels. Search precision is 2%; excluded results are not counted as creator evidence.

Three video angles to test

Focused angles are safer than generic gameplay when a market starts moving.

1. PEAK With Friends: One Session to Find the Hook

Picked because the game format fits creator content, Steam demand is measurable, and the current YouTube supply/risk profile leaves room for a focused test. YouTube supply still looks limited enough to test a focused angle.

2. PEAK: What I Would Test Before Making a Series

This keeps the creator's cost low while checking whether the game has repeatable moments, search intent, and audience fit.

3. PEAK: One Mechanic Worth Building a Video Around

A focused mechanic angle is safer than generic coverage when confidence is incomplete or the niche may already be noisy.

Fit by channel size

0-10k subs

cautious

There is not enough validated viewer demand for a small-channel recommendation yet.

10k-250k subs

cautious

The signal is useful, but validate the newest videos before spending a full production slot.

250k+ subs

cautious

A larger channel does not replace missing evidence of viewer demand. Validate the topic first.
