Quick text summary

COCOON scored 83/100 on Steam Analyser — Good for a Adventure capsule. Top priority fix: [title_readability] Add a subtle semi-transparent dark vignette or gentle glow behind the COCOON lettering to increase contrast of the thin glass letterforms at tiny thumbnail size.

Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Add a subtle semi-transparent dark vignette or gentle glow behind the COCOON lettering to increase contrast of the thin glass letterforms at tiny thumbnail size.
  2. [contrast_color] Brighten or tighten the outer edge of the capsule background slightly to create a cleaner separation from Steam's #1b2838 dark UI at the capsule boundary.
  3. [genre_clarity] Consider adding a subtle secondary visual cue — such as a second smaller orb visible near the character's hand — to more explicitly signal the world-leaping puzzle mechanic to unfamiliar audiences.
  4. [composition] Ensure the character silhouette remains at sufficient scale relative to the orb so the human-scale anchor point does not disappear entirely when the image is cropped to its smallest display size.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Replace 'cosmic mystery' in the short description with a more specific, evocative phrase that hints at what the player will discover or feel—e.g., 'uncover an ancient civilization's secrets' or 'awaken something vast and strange.'
  2. [feature_communication] Expand the 'Monstrous Guardians' section with at least one concrete example of a boss mechanic—e.g., 'Use orb abilities creatively to exploit guardian weaknesses' or 'Each guardian battle teaches you a new puzzle technique.'
  3. [audience_targeting] Add a sentence near the top of the detailed description that signals difficulty level or player type—e.g., 'Perfect for puzzle enthusiasts who loved LIMBO's minimalist challenge' or 'Challenging enough for hardcore players, accessible enough for explorers.'
