What needs Tim — THE PLOW landing page

This page ran the full 11-stage pipeline unattended on 2026-08-17 and passed every gate (test-reader gauntlet 6/6 on cycle 2, voice metrics 14/14). It is a preview: noindexed, on a throwaway subdomain, never linked from the portal. Every claim was verified against the shipped game's source, not the design doc. These are the calls only you can make.

Before publishing anywhere real

  1. The permanent promises. The page says, in writing: no ads, no account, no purchases, "not a demo of something bigger." Publishing this binds THE PLOW to stay free-with-no-catch forever. Sign off consciously.
  2. The hero image is load-bearing. The test readers' conversion estimate assumes the real gameplay screenshot ships in the hero (it does in this build). If the hero ever changes, it must stay a real capture: a mock under a section titled "The part that's usually faked" is the page's one self-own risk.
  3. Session length. The page says a shift takes "about fifteen minutes." The GDD's range is 8 to 20. If real shifts run long, soften to "under twenty."
  4. First person. The page says "my arcade... I'm Tim." Confirm you're comfortable being named; swapping to "we" weakens the trust math the test readers priced in.
  5. Tone check on the lead. It gently swipes at feeds and battle passes. It tested fine with all ten personas, but it's your name on it.

Nice-to-haves the page is built to receive

  1. A dawn screenshot. The Ending section has a visible placeholder for one in-game finale capture (dawn sky, glowing town, plow at the depot). That would be the strongest image on the page. Nothing fake stands in for it meanwhile.
  2. Player quotes. The "whole game in forty words" section frames the absence of reviews honestly; when real player comments arrive via the portal's rate widget, they can slot in there.
  3. The share hook. "Everyone who plays today plows the same streets" tested as the page's most shareable line. If the game ever surfaces that post-shift ("Today's town, plowed by N people"), it's free distribution.
  4. Headline alternative. If you'd rather lead product-forward, the tested runner-up is "Plow a sleeping town awake." One-line swap; everything else holds.

What this preview deliberately does not do

No custom domain, no DNS, no portal changes, no analytics, no indexing. The CTAs link to the real live game at playmoehrgames.com/play/the-plow/, which already exists and is unchanged.
