Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Increase tagline contrast or add subtle outline to 'ELDRITCH EDITION' to maintain readability at TINY thumbnail sizes without losing polish.
  2. [composition] Consider slight vertical adjustment to increase breathing room between title and central glow if the figure feels compressed at small scales during cropping tests.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Rewrite the short description to lead with a specific action or emotional pitch, e.g., 'Descend into Lovecraftian caverns, harness forbidden powers, and choose: resist corruption or embrace eldritch strength. A hand-drawn roguevania metroidvania from the creators of Jotun, now with local co-op.'
  2. [feature_communication] Move the update announcement to a separate 'What's New' section below the 'About the Game' fold, and condense it to 2–3 key points so new players encounter the core game description first.
  3. [uniqueness] Add a sentence explaining the 'resist or embrace' mechanic: 'Your choices to harness or reject corrupted relics reshape your abilities and unlock multiple endings—blending narrative consequence with roguelike progression.'
  4. [audience_targeting] Add a sentence clarifying solo experience: 'Play solo through a challenging single-player campaign, or invite up to 3 friends for local co-op chaos.'
