It looks more like the steering wheel of a ship than a handle of a valve on a pipe. I've looked up how handles on valves look on some random internet page (https://boilersinfo.com/types-of-valves-with-images/) for you;

  

The red color for handle I feel is a good choice (assuming it is somewhat consistent with other interact-able parts in your game). Additional it would help if there was some light hinting at the valve. Currently your eye is immediately drawn to the light on the left. 

The sound effect is nice, albeit not very realistic (I have worked in a lab testing valves in the past). Mostly valves operate noiselessly. There might be an occasional squeaking. And there might be the noise of cavitation, which can occur when the valve is almost closed. Cavitation is vapor bubbles imploding (you might want to look up cavitation) and damages valves over time.  You might be able to hear it if you open a faucet just a tiny bit (so that the water runs into the sink mostly without noise just a little above dripping) and put your ear close to the handle. You listen for short, sharp sounds like "pop" not unlike firecrackers.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed comment.

I really appreciate the honest and thoughtful feedback.

You’re absolutely right about the visual focus. I’m actually in the process of tweaking the image right now to make the valve feel more realistic and better integrated with the overall aesthetic of the game, and I’ll also try to improve the visual hinting so it doesn’t compete so much with the light on the left.

I chose a circular valve mainly because I really like the rotation effect in RPG Maker (it’s surprisingly tricky to get right) and the sound feedback when it turns, but I agree it needs to feel more coherent and grounded within the scene.

Your explanation about real valves is also very interesting, especially the note about cavitation. I wasn’t aware of that phenomenon, and I’ll definitely look it up and reconsider the sound design to make it subtler and more believable.

Thanks again for the great feedback, it’s genuinely helpful!!!
