Quick text summary

Either Eye scored 75/100 on Steam Analyzer — Good for a Action capsule. Top priority fix: [title_readability] Increase tagline size or vertical spacing to ensure 'seeing is not believing' remains readable at small/tiny capsule sizes without becoming invisible on quick scroll

Capsule scores by dimension

  • Genre Clarity: 7/10 — Psychological horror with gameplay mechanic. The silhouetted hands, distorted eye imagery, and camera/vision framing strongly suggest a first-person perspective game with visual manipulation mechanics. At tiny size, the eye and hand silhouettes read as unsettling and genre-appropriate, though the specific 'fractured vision' mechanic is not immediately obvious from the icon alone. The grayscale aesthetic and surreal imagery align with psychological horror indie games.
  • Title Readability: 8/10 — Readable handwritten title with clear contrast. The title 'either eye' is rendered in a distinctive handwritten/irregular font that maintains legibility at full size and small size, aided by the high contrast against the light concrete texture background. At tiny size the letters remain distinguishable, though some of the serif details blur slightly. The tagline 'seeing is not believing' sits below in smaller text but remains readable at small size due to the clean background placement.
  • Contrast & Color: 8/10 — Strong light-dark separation with silhouette clarity. The pure black hand and eye silhouettes create excellent separation against the light gray concrete texture, and this contrast holds strongly at all sizes including tiny thumbnails. The yellow camera icon provides warm accent pop without overwhelming the composition. In grayscale simulation, the value separation between black subjects and light background remains crisp and unambiguous.
  • Uniqueness & Polish: 8/10 — Distinctive visual metaphor with cohesive execution. The concept of fractured vision communicated through distorted eye imagery and the camera-as-tool (yellow icon) is both thematically coherent and visually distinctive for an indie title. The handwritten typography, concrete decay texture, and surreal hand poses convey a crafted, intentional aesthetic that avoids generic template feel. The execution feels deliberate and polished, with clear visual storytelling about the game's core mechanic.
  • Brand Consistency: 7/10 — Consistent unsettling aesthetic with clear motifs. The capsule establishes a recognizable visual identity through repeated use of distorted eye/vision imagery, black silhouettes, and handwritten typography that could be identified across marketing materials. The concrete texture, desaturated palette, and surreal body language create a cohesive psychological horror brand. Without access to the 9 store screenshots, this appears internally consistent with strong identity signals around vision distortion as the core mechanic.
  • Composition: 7/10 — Clear focal hierarchy with balanced layout. The left-side hand and eye create a strong primary focal point that reads immediately even at tiny size, with the yellow camera icon acting as a supporting secondary element that guides interpretation. The title sits on clean background space in the right portion without competing with the imagery. At small sizes the composition remains readable, though the tagline placement is secondary and may not register on quick scroll at tiny sizes.

What works

  • Memorable visual metaphor. The distorted eye and hand silhouettes effectively communicate both the psychological horror genre and the fractured vision mechanic, creating instant thematic clarity.
  • Excellent contrast foundation. Pure black silhouettes against light gray concrete ensure the design reads clearly at all sizes from full header to tiny thumbnail, with strong grayscale separation.
  • Distinctive handwritten typography. The irregular 'either eye' font adds personality and crafted polish that distinguishes it from generic action game capsules while remaining legible.
  • Cohesive color accent. The yellow camera icon provides just enough warm pop to guide the eye without breaking the desaturated, unsettling tone of the overall composition.

What hurts the capsule

  • Tagline scale at tiny size. The 'seeing is not believing' tagline becomes nearly illegible at thumbnail size, creating a hierarchy issue where secondary text should fade rather than disappear completely.
  • Limited color palette. While thematically appropriate, the near-monochromatic scheme with only yellow accent leaves little room for visual variation if the capsule needs to scale or adapt across different contexts.
  • Concrete texture density. At tiny size, the detailed concrete texture can read as visual noise and slightly compromises the sharpness of the black silhouettes, though this trade-off is minor.

Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Increase tagline size or vertical spacing to ensure 'seeing is not believing' remains readable at small/tiny capsule sizes without becoming invisible on quick scroll
  2. [composition] Test title and tagline positioning to ensure safe margins are maintained if Steam crops the right edge on different device layouts
  3. [contrast_color] Consider subtle texture overlay reduction or slight background lightening around the title area to maximize legibility of smaller text at thumbnail sizes

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Add a brief bullet list or 1-2 sentences describing the types of puzzles players will encounter and how progression advances the narrative (e.g., 'Solve environmental puzzles by switching between realities to reveal hidden paths and uncover the world's true nature').
  2. [hook_strength] Remove the repetition of the short description in the detailed section and replace with a concrete example of a puzzle or scenario (e.g., 'Imagine a locked door that only exists in the evil world—you must switch eyes at just the right moment to pass through').
  3. [audience_targeting] Add a line clarifying expected playtime, difficulty level, or who this is made for (e.g., 'Perfect for players who love puzzle-horror games and mind-bending mechanics' or 'Designed for 1-2 hour playthroughs').
  4. [uniqueness] Explicitly state what differentiates this from other psychological horror or puzzle games (e.g., 'The only game where your vision literally rewrites the rules of the world around you')
