Feedback on my Steam page? The Vestige Hi all! I'm working on The Vestige and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/5028380/ 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/the-vestige 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.
