Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Add a 1-2 sentence description of core gameplay: 'Use logical deduction to piece together the fate of the ship and crew' or mention the iconic 1-bit monochrome art style and how it influences the experience.
  2. [uniqueness] Include a concrete differentiator such as 'the game's distinctive 1-bit visual style' or 'solve the mystery entirely through deduction without dialogue trees or guides' to separate it from generic mystery games.
  3. [feature_communication] Clarify what 'exploration' entails—do players search the ship for clues, examine objects, piece together timelines, or reconstruct events?
