  3. [brand_consistency] Establish a recurring visual symbol or color accent across marketing materials that becomes instantly recognizable as the Old Skies brand identity.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Replace 'Lots of puzzles that require temporal thinking to solve' with a concrete example: e.g., 'Use time mechanics to solve puzzles—change history in one era to unlock clues in another' so players understand the puzzle hook.
  2. [uniqueness] Add 1–2 sentences explaining what makes Old Skies' time travel approach distinctive: e.g., 'Unlike games where you change history, you're custodian of it—keep travelers alive and happy while preserving the timeline' to differentiate from Unavowed and Blackwell.
  3. [feature_communication] Clarify the death mechanic: specify whether death resets a puzzle attempt, a scene, or the full game, and whether it has narrative weight or is purely mechanical.
  4. [audience_targeting] Add 1 sentence explicitly signaling player fit: e.g., 'Designed for narrative adventure fans who love character-driven mysteries and logic puzzles' to help the right audience self-identify.
