Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.

Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.

My #MVNA project is released! It comes with many art assets by wonderful artists to make immersive particle effects right away. I spent far too much time adding all sorts of movement options and customization to it, so it would mean a lot if you checked it out!

Several chibi illustrations in square format.
The top two are single characters holding hearts.
The bottom two are paired illustrations, each with the left character holding their hand in half a heart shape and the right with a thumbs up instead.
