Background

Seraph: In The Darkness is a dark fantasy action RPG with deep leveling systems and immersive combat. The development team needed to go beyond surface-level marketing and acquire players who would genuinely engage with the game, activate codes, progress through levels, and spend real time and money within the world of Seraph.

Challenge

Most user acquisition campaigns deliver vanity metrics like clicks and impressions, but Seraph needed verified, high-quality players who would actually play the game, level up, and invest in the ecosystem. They needed a partner who could prove real engagement, not just downloads.

Solution

GAMES.GG designed a multi-layered quest campaign that tracked real in-game behavior: code activations, level progression, and playtime hours. By verifying gameplay on Steam, the campaign ensured every acquired player was genuinely engaged, creating a dedicated community of RPG enthusiasts.

Code Verification
