Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce a subtle signature visual element (e.g., a distinctive character silhouette in the window, memory-revealing glow, or calendar motif) to differentiate from generic cozy cabin aesthetics.
  2. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle UI or interaction hint (warm candlelight, cooking smoke, journal) visible at small size to signal the routine-management and memory-uncovering mechanics.
  3. [brand_consistency] Establish a recognizable color accent or symbol that appears consistently across store thumbnails to build a memorable Alpenglow identity.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add a sentence in the detailed description clarifying whether survival systems have fail states (starvation, exhaustion) or are purely atmospheric—this removes ambiguity for players deciding between 'game' and 'interactive fiction' expectations.
  2. [uniqueness] Replace one instance of the abstract 'story engine' explanation with a concrete example: 'If you spend your days fishing and reading rather than chopping wood, the story you uncover will centre on reflection, not survival—and your ending changes accordingly.'
  3. [feature_communication] Insert a brief note about Early Access in the Key Features section or after the detailed description to set expectations about future updates and current content scope.
