Image Content Analysis
  • Text placement crowds the focal character and doesn't pop; move the title lower/right with a stronger outline or glow for clarity, like in Resident Evil Village.
  • Lighting is flat and the background is dark/muddled; add higher contrast or a vignette spotlight to sharpen the silhouette, similar to Little Nightmares.
  • Genre signals (horror elements) are generic; incorporate a unique visual motif or recognizable icon from the game as Dead by Daylight does to instantly communicate identity.
