Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle environmental detail such as a dark forest treeline or dim lantern light to reinforce the survival horror setting and hint at exploration gameplay without breaking the monochrome aesthetic.
  2. [composition] Adjust the creature's vertical position slightly downward to create safe margin at the top edge and prevent crown cropping across all Steam display ratios.
  3. [contrast_color] Consider introducing a single very subtle desaturated warm tone or slight vignette gradient to add depth and prevent the image from feeling flat in environments with other colorful capsules nearby.
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Tighten the right-side empty space by extending atmospheric fog or texture to fill dead space and increase the sense of dread and immersion at full header size.
