Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add a visual element that communicates scavenging or survival—such as broken glass, a trading item, or a hazard UI hint—to clarify action-adventure gameplay intent.
  2. [composition] Increase character vertical centering or reduce character size slightly to improve safety margins and prevent head/limbs from being cropped by Steam's dynamic framing.
  3. [title_readability] Consider a single bold title word or integrate 'ANOMALY' as a smaller subtitle below with higher contrast to ensure tiny-size legibility without losing hierarchy.
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Incorporate a visual element unique to the game's core loop—e.g., a merchant silhouette, broken glass, or trade goods—to differentiate from generic horror-indie competitors.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Tighten the short description's closing: replace 'try to stay alive and care about yourself' with a single, stronger verb phrase like 'fight to survive in a world that rewards deception' to match the visceral energy of the opening.
  2. [feature_communication] Expand the body condition monitoring explanation: add a sentence clarifying how thirst, hunger, and panic directly impact exploration pace, combat effectiveness, or trading leverage—show the mechanical consequence, not just the status list.
  3. [uniqueness] Strengthen the merchant deception angle with a concrete example in the short or opening paragraph: 'exploit desperate survivors by trading them broken tools and spoiled food' would differentiate this more sharply from standard survival games.
  4. [audience_targeting] Add a brief note about intended player experience: specify whether this is for players seeking hardcore, consequence-heavy survival or if accessibility options (Playable without Timed Input) signal a more forgiving approach, so the right audience self-selects.
