Three short lines strip away light, sound and gravity, and your mind starts asking what is left. The glowing tank looks like an experiment you would never enter. Survived in the title says it got bad enough to matter.
How the packaging works
Title
The title frames the tank as something to survive.
Thumbnail
The image shows the glowing tank and lists the three things removed.
Remix this
When your experiment removes things rather than adds them, list the removals as short matching lines. Three repeated no lines read in one glance and stack the dread better than a sentence.
The transferable lesson
Stack short matching lines to build the ordeal.
