Feedback on my Steam page? Paper Shredder

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4894750/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 68/100 (Solid). The weakest parts were localization (25), demo & social proof (35), links & community (35), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. If English isn't your first language: would a translated store page change anything for you?
2. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist?
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/paper-shredder

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.
