Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Simplify or remove the decorative dot-dash flanking elements around the logo so the 'STRAY' wordmark reads cleaner at small and tiny sizes
  2. [genre_clarity] Consider adding a subtle UI element or interaction cue near the cat to hint at the adventure/exploration gameplay loop for genre-ambiguous viewers
  3. [contrast_color] Increase the value separation on the left robot figure by brightening its highlights slightly so it reads as a distinct silhouette at tiny size
  4. [composition] Slightly reduce background sign clutter in the midground to prevent the mid-dark zone behind the title from becoming muddy at small capsule size

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Replace 'defend against unforeseen threats' with a specific mechanic description: e.g., 'evade or hide from hostile droids and creatures using stealth and agility' to clarify the combat/evasion system.
  2. [feature_communication] Add a concrete example of what 'solve mysteries' means: e.g., 'uncover the city's history by piecing together clues and deciphering ancient records' to give players a mental model of puzzle gameplay.
  3. [audience_targeting] Consider adding a line emphasizing narrative-first appeal: e.g., 'Unfold an emotional story of survival, companionship, and connection' to signal that this is story-driven before mechanical complexity.
