I just don't look at much information for games even if they're ones I'm really looking forward to. The only time I would is if it's just straight up presented to me (like one of those Steam pop ups that I mentioned) or it's a game I'm on the fence about buying. A game without a release date certainly doesn't fall in to the latter category though, so they've either got to win me over with the announcement (something this game has failed pretty bad at, there's like no information at all and I don't even know the developer so it's not like I'd be interested based on their previous games either), or hope I see their game again at some point and if they're only using twitter, facebook and youtube there's pretty much no chance of that happening.

I get that you don't want to check up on those sources of information, but you cannot really blame the devs, when they released a teaser trailer, which entails a tiny snippet of the game teasing you that it exists (the majority of teaser trailers usually focus on an opening of some sort rather than gameplay only), as well as informing you that they will also be releasing more infor across 4 venues. They are using all the venues that everyone elses uses these days to reach as many people as possible.

Adding the game to your Steam wishlist will also have you notified of it's release or it going on sale via an email in your inbox (assuming you allow Steam to send you mail). I even have the outlook mail app (which comes with win 10 anyway) on Windows 10, and it notifies me whenever I get mail from Steam about the sale or release of a game. I open up Steam and I'm notified via the popup (which only happens once when it's released or if it goes on sale), so I'm given the information twice.

It's up to you on how you gather and process the information, not the devs. The devs will be releasing further gameplay information via those 4 venues. It's up to you to view them whenever you want to. Liking the game's page on Facebook for example will auto notify you of what that page is doing in terms of activity for one example.
