Working on Colony 2, the follow-up to Colony (released it a while back). We're a 2-person indie dev team from Tamil Nadu, India, and wanted to try a twist on the "return to the haunted place" trope this time — instead of the scares coming purely from the location, the dread builds around what's wrong with the player character themselves.

This clip is from the opening sequence — no jumpscares yet, just trying to build atmosphere and pacing before things go wrong.

Would genuinely love feedback on whether the buildup lands, or if it drags.

Hey everyone,

I'm part of a small indie team working on a game called COLONY 2, and we just updated our Steam capsule art. Before we lock it in, I wanted to get some outside opinions since it's easy to lose objectivity when you've been staring at the same art for weeks
A few things I'd love feedback on:

• Does it grab attention scrolling through a Steam list?
• Is it clear what genre/vibe the game is going for?
• Anything that feels off, generic, or confusing at a glance?

Not trying to promote here, genuinely just want some outside perspective before we finalize it. Appreciate any feedback, even blunt criticism — that's actually more useful to us right now.
