Feedback on my Steam page? Croakwood

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2261380/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 77/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were demo & social proof (35), localization (45), capsule visibility (80), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist?
2. If English isn't your first language: would a translated store page change anything for you?
3. Can you read the title on the capsule at the small size (search results / wishlist)? What genre do you think it is from the capsule alone?

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

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.
