Feedback on my Steam page? Needle In A Haystack Simulator Hi all! I'm working on Needle In A Haystack Simulator and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/5159870/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 72/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were demo & social proof (35), short description (55), links & community (55), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist? 2. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game? 3. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/needle-in-a-haystack-simulator 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.
