Stay: Ember's Desktop Adventures

This is an automated marketing readiness audit of Stay: Ember's Desktop Adventures, based on its public Steam page, from Windup Minds. It scores how ready the game is to earn creator coverage and press, and flags what to improve.

Ember is a virtual pet who feels alive - and living on your desktop. Play with her, feed her - make her feel loved. Curious and attentive, mischievous when you need a distraction.

65/ 100 marketing readiness

What is working

  • Desktop-buddy format is novel and always-on, aiding word of mouth
  • Explicitly not-LLM game AI positioning preempts a common concern
  • Fully 3D animated companion is a strong visual hook

What to fix

  • Desktop-pet utility is hard to demo in a trailer, show real use
  • 9 screenshots but header should convey the always-on charm
  • Overlap with the main Stay title needs clear differentiation
  • Depth of interaction over time is unstated
