Feedback on my Steam page? SHADE Protocol Hi all! I'm working on SHADE Protocol and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3581730/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 80/100 (Very strong). The weakest parts were demo & social proof (35), screenshots (74), short description (75), 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. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/shade-protocol Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
