Feedback on my Steam page? Fools, Maniacs and Liars

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1741170/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 73/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were localization (25), links & community (55), trailers (60), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. If English isn't your first language: would a translated store page change anything for you?
2. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting?
3. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/fools-maniacs-and-liars

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.
