Feedback on my Steam page? Drownlight Hi all! I'm working on Drownlight and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3512480/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 77/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were demo & social proof (35), links & community (55), capsule visibility (74), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist? 2. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? 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/drownlight 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.
