Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce a recognizable motif or silhouette (journalist character, floppy disk icon, or world detail) to create memorable brand identity distinct from generic retro titles
  2. [composition] Redistribute visual weight to the lower third with a subtle secondary design element that reinforces the dual reality theme (pixel art fading to real world) suggested in the game description
  3. [brand_consistency] Test capsule against in-game screenshots to ensure the red-and-pixel aesthetic accurately reflects core visual identity throughout the game

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Expand the detailed description to 150+ words and add 2-3 specific sentences about core gameplay loops: 'In each floppy disk world, you explore isometric environments, encounter supernatural threats, and solve environmental puzzles to uncover the truth.' This addresses the under-100-word penalty.
  2. [feature_communication] Replace 'Solve the riddles and figure out what's going on here' with concrete examples or categories of puzzles: 'Decipher cryptic clues, manipulate the environment, and decode hidden messages to progress.' This makes gameplay tangible.
  3. [hook_strength] Revise the opening of the short description to lead with the supernatural conflict: 'A journalist discovers floppy disks depicting her own written articles—but now she's trapped inside them, hunted by demons and cultists.' This frontloads the core tension.
  4. [uniqueness] Add one sentence to the detailed description that articulates what makes IMAGO distinct: 'Unlike traditional adventure games, your actions in the pixel worlds directly affect the journalist's grip on reality.' This clarifies what separates it from similar retro-horror titles.
