AI shopper test

An AI is looking at Pacific Drive'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? Pacific Drive

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1458140/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 83/100 (Very strong). The weakest parts were demo & social proof (70), screenshots (74), capsule visibility (76), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist?
2. Which of the first 4 screenshots makes you want to click? Which one would you cut?
3. 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?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/pacific-drive

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.
