Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Incorporate a subtle visual element (rune, dice, or scrolled parchment) that signals the text-based choice mechanic to differentiate from action-RPGs.
  2. [uniqueness_polish] Develop a distinctive iconographic motif or color accent tied to the Caledonian setting that becomes a recognizable brand identifier across all store assets.
  3. [composition] Simplify background texture detail or increase contrast so the historical map setting remains readable and atmospheric at SMALL and TINY sizes.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Rewrite the opening line to lead with the core emotional or survival hook: 'Your emotions shape your fate as Rome burns Caledonia. Unite the tribes, save your brother, and decide what legacy you leave behind—one choice at a time.'
  2. [feature_communication] Add a brief 'What You'll Do' or gameplay loop section in the detailed description that explicitly lists: choose dialogue/actions → rolls affected by emotions → build relationships → navigate combat or negotiate → shape your character's mind and body → witness consequences.
  3. [uniqueness] Insert a specific differentiator sentence after the emotion mechanic is first explained: 'Unlike traditional RPGs, your character's emotional state directly modifies every dice roll, making psychology as important as stats.' or similar.
  4. [feature_communication] Clarify Early Access scope: add a line specifying approximate playtime, chapters available, or content roadmap (e.g., 'Currently ~8 hours of story. Full campaign coming [timeline].').
