It hasn't even been two weeks and no one has heard of it, so maybe advertising might help.

Ding correct answer. And the article itself of course.

We're not the advertising. Streamers are the advertising. If the publisher didn't spend money on trying to promote this on Twitch and/or Youtube, they aren't doing their job.

Splattercatgaming just released a video a day ago, so these guys are impatient.

There must be some sort of first-week spike they expected to see?

You can usually calculate that from wishlists.
