Feedback on my Steam page? Order of the Sinking Star

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/499170/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 86/100 (Standout). The weakest parts were capsule visibility (73), short description (80), tags (84), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. Can you read the title on the capsule at the small size (search results / wishlist)? What genre do you think it is from the capsule alone?
2. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game?
3. Do the top tags match the game you see in the screenshots?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/order-of-the-sinking-star

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