Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Add a subtle environmental detail or effect that hints at the puzzle-solving or horror mechanic—such as ghostly paper elements, fractured reality, or mysterious symbols—to signal what makes Paper Lily mechanically distinct.
  2. [composition] Simplify or reduce background detail saturation so the character silhouette dominates even more clearly at SMALL and TINY sizes, or reposition elements to create more breathing room around the focal figure.
  3. [genre_clarity] Consider a subtle visual cue that reinforces the horror RPG angle—such as a slightly unsettling atmospheric effect or darker environmental tone shift—to communicate the genre more precisely at thumbnail size.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Replace or restructure the "Out of Context Features" section to describe actual mechanics in clear terms, e.g., "Solve puzzles through combat, stealth, puzzle logic, or dialogue; use items creatively; interact with the environment in multiple ways."
  2. [tone_match] Add a transitional sentence after the main narrative that bridges the serious psychological horror tone into lighter elements, or remove quirky features entirely if the game is primarily dark.
  3. [feature_communication] Explain what happens when players choose different puzzle solutions: Do they unlock different story branches, character interactions, or only reach the same goal differently?
