AI shopper test

An AI is looking at INSIDE's capsule, first screenshots and short description the way a Steam shopper would… (up to 30 seconds the first time)

Ask players for feedback on this page new

A ready-to-paste post for r/DestroyMyGame, r/IndieDev or your Discord, with questions aimed at your weakest sections, so people give feedback you can act on.

Feedback on my Steam page? INSIDE

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/304430/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 76/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were long description (42), links & community (50), short description (65), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. Did you scroll the description, or bounce? Where did you stop?
2. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting?
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/inside

Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
