Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Clarify what 'branching conversations' entail—do they affect the ending, story outcomes, or are they purely narrative flavor?
  2. [uniqueness] Add a sentence that explicitly contrasts Venba with other narrative games—e.g., 'Unlike story-heavy games where food is backdrop, Venba's cooking mechanics are integral to uncovering family secrets.'
  3. [tone_match] Replace 'Move over lo-fi beats!' with a more grounded description of the soundtrack's role, such as 'Cook to an original soundtrack rooted in Tamil music traditions that punctuate each memory.'
  4. [feature_communication] Briefly describe the puzzle difficulty or learning curve—e.g., 'Cooking puzzles guide you through each dish's steps, requiring no prior culinary knowledge' to clarify accessibility.
