For studios and publishers
Most channels give your game one video. This one gives it a guide for every place a player can get stuck, published while they are still playing it.
Sustained, not a burst. Published daily.
Across 4,159 guides, indexed and searchable game by game.
Built on a Shorts format that has repeatedly gone past a million views.
Across everything the channel has published. Most of it on Shorts.
On the view count, before you ask
704 million is the lifetime figure from YouTube Studio, across everything the channel has ever published. A public API check reports 5.5 million, and the gap is not what it looks like: YouTube's channel-level view count leaves Shorts out of the total entirely. Add up every public video's own count instead and it comes to 75.8 million, of which 73.3 million is on Shorts. Three numbers, one channel, three different things being counted.
01
A game gets a library. Collectible sweeps zone by zone, boss routes, puzzle solutions, trophy paths, one video per thing a player can get stuck on. Crimson Desert has 321 guides here. Elden Ring has 270. That is the shape of the coverage a studio gets.
02
Guides go up while players are still in the game, which is the only window where a guide changes anyone's experience. Recent launches have had zone routes published within days of release.
03
Vertical shorts built to introduce a game to people who have never heard of it: one calm voiceover, your footage, the hook first and the name last. This is the format that carries the channel's reach.
The twelve most covered games in the catalogue, with the number of guides each one has. This is the shape of the coverage a game gets.

A key, a press build, or just a note about the game and its date. Nothing formal is needed.
We read every one. What decides it is whether the game fits what this channel covers and whether the schedule has room for it, rather than any judgement on the game itself.
You hear back either way. If we can cover it properly, we say so and get started. If we cannot, we say that too, so you are never left waiting on a maybe.
We have real respect for every studio and every solo developer who sends us something, and we know what it costs to make any of it. Whether we cover a game comes down to two dull things: whether it fits what this channel is built around, and whether the schedule has room. A guide library is weeks of work, so taking on more than we can finish would waste your time and cost us the trust the guides run on. So a no from us is a scheduling answer, never a verdict on your game, and you will always get a straight one rather than silence.

Sent the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II collector's book and window cover as a gift from the studio.

We will tell you before publishing if coverage turns critical. You get a heads up, and we still publish.
A key and a date is enough to start. We will come back with a written coverage plan.
