Feedback on my Steam page? Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson

Hi all! I'm working on Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2429050/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 87/100 (Standout). The weakest parts were localization (68), short description (80), tags (84), 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. 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/fretless-the-wrath-of-riffson

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.
