Hi, We're TwosomesUP!

We love helping developers and publishers spread the word about their games, but before we accept a request to review your game, please read through our collaborative review policies, and let us know if you’re comfortable. Because if you’re comfortable, then we’re comfortable!

Of course, there can always be exceptions, and if you’d still like us to cover your game but some of our terms don’t line up, don’t hesitate to reach out to contact@twosomesup and we can work together to figure it out.

ACCEPTING REVIEW CODES

• We will always communicate when a review code is accepted when offered to us directly.
• Minimum of 7 day turn around after acceptance of review code.
  • This is dependent on our current workload, and the length of the game.
  • We will never accept a code that we are unable to cover due to workload and/or time constraints.
• We will always abide by embargo dates, but will never publish a review before a game is released.
• We will always communicate when a review has been published.
• If after accepting a review code we determine coverage of the game would be inappropriate, in bad taste, or harmful to our reputation, we reserve the right to refuse coverage. We will always communicate this to you.

WRITING REVIEWS

• All of our opinions are our own and when it comes to writing reviews we strive for honesty.
  • If there are portions of the game that we don’t like, we’ll say it.
  • If there are portions of the game that we do like, we’ll say it.
  • Regardless of if we received the game for review purposes, or if we bought it ourselves, this will never change.
• All reviews will feature links to where the game can be bought based on which platform we played it on.
  • This is regardless of who it was published by, or where it was published.
• If the game is available on Steam, we will always add it to our Steam Curator with either a thumbs up or thumbs down based on our final verdict. Links to our Steam Curator pages can be found in the footer of each page.

SHARING REVIEWS

• We will always share our work on our Social Media pages either from the TwosomesUP or Twosomes After Dark accounts, depending on the type of content published. You can find our active social media accounts in the footer of each page.
• Shares pertaining to any of our review content will include a link to the review itself, and a link to the game on our Steam Curator if it exists.
• The developer of the game being reviewed, if they have an account on the social media platform where the review is being shared, will also be tagged within the body of the post.

PRESS RELEASES

• We typically do not share press releases for upcoming games.
• Any press releases that we share will be shared on our Social Media pages either from the TwosomesUP or Twosomes After Dark accounts, depending on the type of content.
• Any press releases that we share will not be featured on our website.

EARLY ACCESS AND IN-DEVELOPLMENT GAMES

• We do cover Early Access and In-Development games including pre-release demos, but our type of coverage is dependent on its level of completion and where it can be acquired.
• Games must be feature complete enough to at least represent the final vision and core gameplay loop of the game.
• If the game exists on Steam we will add coverage to our Steam Curator page(s).
• If the game solely exists on Itch.io we will add our coverage to our curated collection(s).
• Coverage may or may not appear on our website depending on the completion level of the game, and whether or not we can form a full opinion on it based on the build we are given access to.
• If for whatever reason we determine the game to not be ready, we reserve the right to refuse coverage. We don’t want to shed a negative light on your in-development game!
