Feedback on my Steam page? Marathon Hi all! I'm working on Marathon and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3065800/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 81/100 (Very strong). The weakest parts were screenshots (62), demo & social proof (70), short description (80), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Which of the first 4 screenshots makes you want to click? Which one would you cut? 2. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist? 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/marathon 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.
