Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Increase the weight and size of the title lettering slightly and remove or simplify the dotted decorative separators so STRANGE ANTIQUITIES remains legible at 120x45 pixels.
  2. [contrast_color] Darken the wooden shelf surface directly beneath the cat or add a subtle shadow vignette so the cat silhouette separates clearly in grayscale and at small sizes.
  3. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle visual cue such as a slightly more prominent arcane symbol or occult glow near the magnifying glass to reinforce the mystery-investigation tone at tiny size.
  4. [composition] Pull the outermost flanking objects slightly inward to reduce edge-cropping risk and tighten the composition for safer display across all Steam capsule crop variants.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness] Strengthen the opening short description by explicitly contrasting this game's shop-keeper investigation premise against 'Strange Horticulture,' e.g., 'Unlike our previous game, you now run the occult store while uncovering the town's darkest secrets.'
  2. [feature_communication] Add one concrete example to the 'Help or Hinder' section showing how a choice affects the town, e.g., 'Cure a curse today, but create an enemy for tomorrow.'
  3. [audience_targeting] Include a brief sentence early in the detailed description clarifying difficulty level or time investment expectation, e.g., 'No timed puzzles—solve at your own pace in this intimate mystery.'
