Feedback on my Steam page? Idle of the Dead Hi all! I'm working on Idle of the Dead and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4927420/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 78/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were demo & social proof (55), trailers (65), capsule visibility (73), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist? 2. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay? 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/idle-of-the-dead 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.
