Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Consider adding subtle visual cue that hints at crafting or collection mechanic (e.g. grimoire in hand, open spellbook) to increase genre specificity beyond 'mystery game'
  2. [composition] Slightly reduce opacity or detail of floating background symbols to improve clarity at TINY size while maintaining atmospheric depth

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Expand the crafting and puzzle mechanic explanation in the opening paragraphs: clarify whether crafting is ingredient-based alchemy, symbolic combination, or another system, and hint at how it connects to investigation and story outcomes.
  2. [hook_strength] Strengthen the short description by moving one gameplay verb higher: replace or supplement 'Master the invisible arts' (vague) with something like 'Decipher hidden wisdom through the nine Wisdoms and nine Legacies' to hint at the system's depth without losing hook appeal.
  3. [uniqueness] Add a sentence after the feature bullets that explicitly contrasts Book of Hours from typical RPGs: 'Unlike combat-heavy RPGs, your power lies in knowledge, memory, and the influence of those you guide—not in levelling or combat progression.'
