Capsule scores by dimension

  • Genre Clarity: 7/10 — Sci-fi visual novel with mystery. The split-face android imagery clearly signals sci-fi and visual novel genre, with the mechanical details and introspective pose suggesting narrative depth. At TINY size, the android silhouette remains readable and communicates speculative fiction, though the puzzle-solving aspect is not visually evident. The composition favors story over gameplay clarity, which is appropriate for a narrative-driven title.
  • Title Readability: 8/10 — Clean, centered, readable at all sizes. The title 'Save My Scrap' uses a sans-serif font positioned in the lower center on a dark background with high contrast white text. At SMALL and TINY sizes the title remains legible without degradation, and the letter spacing is generous enough to prevent collapse. The positioning avoids clashing with the android imagery above, providing breathing room for clarity.
  • Contrast & Color: 8/10 — Strong silhouette against dark backdrop. The light gray android profiles stand out sharply against the dark navy background (#1b2838 equivalent), with red accent lines adding visual interest without oversaturation. The grayscale squint test shows excellent silhouette separation and value contrast between the mechanical figure and the void. White title text further reinforces clarity against the dark canvas.
  • Uniqueness & Polish: 7/10 — Distinctive android aesthetic, refined execution. The dual-profile android design with exposed mechanical details creates a memorable visual hook that distinguishes this from generic sci-fi titles. The art style is clean and intentional, with careful attention to line weight and mechanical detail that communicates craftsmanship. The concept of 'fixing the broken android' translates visually through the damaged appearance, though it walks a line between unique and the wider visual novel aesthetic.
  • Brand Consistency: 7/10 — Cohesive mechanical aesthetic, limited iconography. The capsule presents a consistent visual language with monochromatic and accent color palette (gray, white, red) that aligns with the android restoration theme. The rendering style is uniform across the figure and background, suggesting strong internal art direction. Without reviewing all 12 screenshots, the android character design appears to be a signature visual element, though the capsule alone does not establish a uniquely recognizable brand motif beyond 'android visual novel.'
  • Composition: 8/10 — Balanced dual-profile focal point, clear hierarchy. The two android profiles face each other in the upper 70% of the canvas, creating a natural focal point and emotional tension that draws the eye. The title is anchored below, leaving appropriate margins and safe space from Steam's typical crop zones. At SMALL and TINY sizes, the dual silhouettes remain the clear primary subject while the title maintains readability, and the negative space around the figures prevents clutter.

What works

  • Strong sci-fi visual identity. The android profiles with exposed circuitry and mechanical detail immediately communicate speculative fiction and establish a distinctive, polished aesthetic.
  • Excellent contrast and readability. Light gray figures against dark background and white title text ensure clarity at all viewing sizes, including TINY thumbnail mode.
  • Purposeful composition with emotional depth. The facing profiles suggest connection and narrative conflict, reinforcing the 'restore and uncover truth' premise without requiring text.

What hurts the capsule

  • Limited gameplay visual communication. The capsule prioritizes story atmosphere over puzzle-solving or interactive gameplay hints, which may not signal 'puzzle game' to players unfamiliar with the title.
  • Minimal brand motif beyond the android character. While the android design is solid, there are no secondary iconic symbols, UI elements, or signature palette cues that would make the game instantly recognizable in a crowded genre.
  • Red accent underutilized. The red circuitry lines are subtle and could be more saturated or strategically placed to add visual pop and guide attention more decisively.

Priority fixes

  1. [contrast_color] Increase saturation or brightness of red mechanical accent lines to enhance visual hierarchy and draw the eye more decisively at SMALL and TINY sizes.
  2. [genre_clarity] Consider adding a subtle visual cue that hints at puzzle-solving (e.g., a broken piece, fragmented element, or UI-like border) to clarify the interactive puzzle component.
  3. [uniqueness_polish] Develop a secondary iconic motif or symbol (beyond the android character itself) that could become a recognizable brand signature across marketing materials and future titles.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Expand the 'Android Repairs' description with 1-2 concrete examples: 'Find faulty circuits through pattern-matching puzzles, replace degraded components via sliding mechanics, and restore power nodes through memory-matching games.'
  2. [hook_strength] Reposition the android repair mechanic into the short description with a gameplay verb: 'Fix a broken android piece by piece, and with each repair, unlock fragmented memories that reveal heartbreaking truths.'
  3. [uniqueness] Add a sentence differentiating this from other narrative games: 'Unlike traditional visual novels, every puzzle solved directly progresses the story—your repair choices shape what Harima remembers.'
  4. [feature_communication] Integrate or remove the Steam features bullet list; if kept, reframe as 'Unlock new story branches, multiple endings, and a gallery featuring all artwork' to feel narrative-relevant rather than technical.
