Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Emphasize the furniture-extraction or outpost-building mechanic visually—add a distinct visual element (e.g., salvaged furniture prop, building icon, or construction motif) that signals the builder loop and sets Grain Rot apart from generic extraction games.
  2. [brand_consistency] Introduce or strengthen an iconic character, symbol, or color pattern that could serve as a recognizable brand marker for Grain Rot across future marketing and store pages.
  3. [genre_clarity] Consider adding a subtle visual cue (e.g., a carried item, environmental detail) that hints at the scavenging-extraction mechanic to clarify the core gameplay loop at a glance.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [audience_targeting] Add one sentence clarifying solo vs co-op playability: 'Play solo or with friends' or similar, to immediately signal whether solo players should expect a full experience or a compromise.
  2. [feature_communication] Expand the Corrupted mechanic description: replace vague language with concrete threat logic, e.g., 'The Corrupted hunt by sound and movement, forcing your crew to balance looting speed with stealth.'
  3. [feature_communication] Add one sentence to the Outpost section explaining one specific progression example, e.g., 'Unlock armored vessels or traps that change how you approach each layer,' to show how meta-progression impacts future runs.
