Feedback on my Steam page? Diplomacy is Not an Option

Hi all! I'm working on Diplomacy is Not an Option and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1272320/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 87/100 (Standout). The weakest parts were long description (75), capsule visibility (80), short description (80), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. Did you scroll the description, or bounce? Where did you stop?
2. 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?
3. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/diplomacy-is-not-an-option

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.
