AI shopper test

An AI is looking at Mandrake'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? Mandrake

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3710210/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 71/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were localization (25), demo & social proof (35), 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. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist?
3. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/mandrake

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