Discussion Why am I not getting any Wishlists on my Steam Game?

Hey guys, I'm Mark a solo developer of my game Makoto Maze (2d psychological horror), I recently shared a short footage of my game and got over 53 upvotes. A lot of people tell me my game looks good and creepy, that they like the scribbly hand-drawn vibe and that it is somewhat interesting. Yet, in 10 days, I got like 40 wishlists? I want to release a public demo during the Steam Scream V showcase, but my build is still getting approved... Is 40 wishlists good? Is it bad? This is my FIRST TIME EVER trying to release something... I made the trailer myself, used some copyrighted music (yikes) cause I couldn't really afford someone for my initial ideas lol.

Am I not getting wishlists because the trailer is bad? The capsule images are not good enough? Are the screenshots too vague or are they perhaps too raw?

I genuinely need some feedback on that, please be bruttaly honest lol.

This is the Steam Page of my game I'm talking about: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5373100/Makoto_Maze/

I am also including some images from the game so you can immediately see the vibe..

Hello everyone! With my friends we worked on a small cave diving inspired game!

The control scheme is a little bit different, you have to use the mouse to crawl in the tunnels. It requires some strength and stamina.

It’s our first horror game, so we hope the atmosphere will work well. For now we have one review on Steam, but it’s normal, we’re not really good at marketing.

Also the game was made without AI.

In any case. Thanks for reading me! Have a great day!

Also here’s the Steam link if you te interested: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4174240/D%C3%A9dale_A_Cave_Diving_Experience/

I'm building a deep-sea "saturation diving" simulator game, with some subtle horror elements like this! Thought it looks really cool and just wanted to share it with some one:)

We've put a lot of time and effort into No Clean Start, our survival horror FPS, and we've just released a free demo.

After spending so long working on it, it's hard to judge our own game objectively. We'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try and shared your honest thoughts.

The demo includes the first 10 levels and is of course freely downloadable on Steam.
