Feedback on my Steam page? Astral Hunter: Homebound

Hi all! I'm working on Astral Hunter: Homebound and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3540610/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 85/100 (Standout). The weakest parts were links & community (55), trailers (75), long description (82), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting?
2. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay?
3. Did you scroll the description, or bounce? Where did you stop?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/astral-hunter-homebound

Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!

Check each community's rules first; many have a weekly feedback thread or require a gameplay video.
