Looking to get feedback on some horror gameplays I’ve done

I’ve been getting low impressions on this, I think the thumbnail is good (though you may think differently) and the title is decent (hard to think of a good one sometimes) any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Trying new games that are outside my realm but still fun so this is newer territory for me.

Hey! I checked out your video. I think the intro could grab viewers more. Right now it starts with around 30 seconds of walking through what looks like a supermarket, it feels like we’re jumping into the middle of the gameplay without much context. You could try opening with a short creepy moment or your reaction first, then fade into the actual gameplay.

About the video quality, it looks pretty rough. if that’s part of the VHS horror vibe, maybe emphasize it with stronger effects (static, scanlines, flicker) so it feels deliberate rather than a recording issue. That would sell the “retro horror” feel better. When I started watching, my first thought was "video quality is horrible".

The thumbnail and title are okay, but they don’t really sell the mystery. Maybe use a darker image with one strong focal point, like the store clerk in shadows with one glowing light or eerie figure, or something like that

The video quality is how the game actually looks, I did not edit it but the rest are good points thank you

yeah I figured that out later while watching, but still the first impression was about the video quality overrall. it seemed like a recording issue, not deliberate

Ahh ok now I get it, my bad hope I didn’t come off as rude. The hook or intro I’ll work on. For the thumbnail I was trying to go for a police file vibe but I’ll definitely work on it
