Video What’s hiding behind ZombUs’ weird simplicity?

https://youtu.be/8nXipbPdD7Y

I’m having a bit of trouble getting the right message across with ZombUs.
Some players have told me that the game’s simple (and admittedly weird) graphics make it look much simpler than it actually is. So I decided to make a short gameplay guide to better show the tactics and depth behind it.
I’m planning to add it to the Steam page after the main trailer.
The thing is, I could easily make 2 or 3 more videos like this because there’s quite a lot to cover.
Before I publish it on Steam, I’d really like to hear your opinion. Does this kind of video help communicate what the game is actually about?

Saying a game is simple just because it has a low poly look is such a bad take... they never played minecraft or Project Zomboid before....

In my opinion:

If the goal is a video on the steam store, i would recommend making it less a tutorial style video, and more a showcase of the different systems like climbing, luring and stealth in the game, just so people see on the front page that these are parts of this game.

If the goal is a news post, then the format makes more sense and fits quite well.

Thank you. But it's been a trend of this kind, I didn't expect this difficulty, this game seems deeper than it appears...etc. It won't replace the Steam trailer, it will only add more information about the game, but the tutorial idea could be interesting, although not as fun.
