AI shopper test

An AI is looking at Castlebound's capsule, first screenshots and short description the way a Steam shopper would… (up to 30 seconds the first time)

Feedback on my Steam page? Castlebound

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3551820/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 86/100 (Standout). The weakest parts were trailers (60), short description (75), tags (84), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay?
2. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game?
3. Do the top tags match the game you see in the screenshots?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/castlebound

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.
