Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle visual investigation cue such as a magnifying glass, scattered clues, or an artist sketchbook element near the character to communicate the mystery mechanic at a glance.
  2. [title_readability] Increase the size and weight of 'IN THE CITY' or consolidate the subtitle into the main logo treatment so it survives tiny size compression without disappearing.
  3. [contrast_color] Add a subtle dark vignette or gradient behind the title text block on the left to ensure legibility against the neon city lights at all sizes.
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce one distinctive storytelling element into the background, such as a missing persons poster or a looming ominous shadow, to hint at the dark narrative beneath the urban setting.
