Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Introduce at least one visible strategy or survival management cue, such as a resource icon, hex grid fragment, or UI element overlay, to align visuals with the actual genre.
  2. [contrast_color] Increase the value separation between the background and main characters by darkening the midground or adding a subtle dark vignette behind key figures to improve pop against Steam's dark UI.
  3. [composition] Simplify the left character cluster by reducing it to one or two clearly silhouetted figures with better spacing, so the composition reads legibly at 120x45 pixels.
  4. [genre_clarity] Consider adding a short genre descriptor tagline such as 'Survival Management RPG' in small readable text beneath the title to immediately anchor audience expectations.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Rewrite the short description to lead with a specific, emotionally resonant hook: replace the opening with something like 'Your ship crashed on an alien world. Your crew is dying. Can you keep them alive long enough to discover the planet's dark secrets?' This immediately raises tension and curiosity.
  2. [uniqueness] Add a single sentence clarifying what makes this entry distinct from the previous Dead in games, or emphasize one mechanical innovation (e.g., 'The Power Surge ultimate abilities and faction system have fundamentally changed how you approach both combat and diplomacy').
  3. [audience_targeting] Insert a sentence early in the detailed description that signals audience fit: 'If you loved FTL or Duskers, but wanted deeper character relationships and a branching story, Dead in Antares is built for you.' This anchors expectations.
  4. [feature_communication] Add 1–2 sentences explaining how faction interaction works mechanically (e.g., 'Befriend or oppose the two warring factions on Antares Prime—your allegiances will unlock unique resources, quests, and story branches') to elevate factions from lore to gameplay.
