Self-promotion allowedLinks permitted

Can you promote here?

The rules clearly permit sharing your own product or project. Follow the format norms below, disclose that it is yours, and lead with substance: allowed is not the same as welcomed for low-effort pitches.

From the rules · If promoting your own game, limit to one post per week and use the Original Content flair; sales or affiliate links are forbidden.

Links

The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.

What this community rewards

Dominant post formats: discussion, news, showcase

Headline: short, descriptive (game title or clear question). Write in first person or conversational third; open with a game/story hook or a direct question. Typical length: short-to-medium text posts (1–4 paragraphs) possibly with media. Tone: thoughtful, polite, story-focused. Upvoted: narrative analysis, personal anecdotes, OC posts with flair. Removed: memes, sales/affiliate links, piracy, harassment.

Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.

Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/narrativegames's rules page before posting anything that matters.

Thread Otter checks this before every send

These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
