AI shopper test

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

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? Maskbound

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4564960/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 62/100 (Solid). The weakest parts were links & community (5), trailers (20), demo & social proof (35), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting?
2. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay?
3. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist?

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

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.
