Feedback on my Steam page? The Great Sassanelli – An Interactive Novel

Hi all! I'm working on The Great Sassanelli – An Interactive Novel and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2195490/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 79/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were localization (25), demo & social proof (50), short description (70), 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. 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/the-great-sassanelli-an-interactive-novel

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.
