Congrats on the demo! Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

- Everything was presented very nicely. The production value felt high for a solo project.

- The amount of accessibility features is impressive, especially considering the game is still in its demo phase. Most of the puzzle hints are helpful without completely spoiling the answer.

- I really liked the main cast. There wasn't anyone out of the main seven who I felt to be disposable or irritating.

- The story so far does a good job balancing giving answers while creating new mysteries.

Con:

- The discussions feel more akin to cutscenes, with the characters doing all of the major deductions. It would be nice if there was a bit more interactivity or decision-making involved.

Speculation/Predictions (Spoilers!)

- I'm really interested in seeing how the tree different routes play out! The rightmost ending definitely felt the most "canon", while the left ending really throws the tone

- Right now Leon was lacking stage presence, though I imagine a large part of this was from the cast wondering if they were even dealing with Leon. I suppose I'm a sucker for dramatic villains, but I'm also intrigued by the concept of a death game-esque story without an antagonist in the center spotlight. 

Spoiler I think.

I don't know how to get the other endings. ☹️ help pls thanks

Lovin the game so far! These types of games are always very enjoyable and the puzzles on this game i thought were quite creative, i will admit i did have some difficulties solving some but nothing too crazy that with a little bit of time and thinking couldn't solve. Its more satisfying figuring a tough puzzle out for yourself even if it does take some time its worth it.

Tip to anyone wanting to play, take the time to jot down notes to help solve the puzzles (I did so by hand because ability to structure and draw but i did see there was an in game notes feature which is super cool!)

I do want to let the dev know i did come across a bug near the end of my gameplay. According to the game guide i am very close to the end  but at the part where Noah is to examine the keyboard i got this error message (see screenshot below) and can't seem to escape the Loading bit unless i exit out of the game completely.

Bug aside i really enjoyed the game and will defiantly finish it once this has been fixed or once i figure out how to get around it or what the heck i did wrong lol

(Disclaimer: I played the v1.01 build, so I have no idea about the new and improved experience 😅)

Really well made! I had a good time playing this demo. Hours went by in a flash~ 

The puzzles were fun, even for someone like me who's bad at them! Having an in-game notes feature helped quite a bit, and the hints helped me when I got stuck too! (which happened very often) ...though there was one particular puzzle that I got stuck on even with the hints (probably the one that's updated in v1.02)

Itch is a big meanie and doesn't let me spoiler tag things, so I'll just say that the endings were interesting! Can't wait to see how things shake out in the full game.

(side note...based on their surname, are Noah and Vivian meant to be Cantonese? 👀)

This Demo is really well done. Has a interesting premise, fun character interactions, and unique gameplay. Can't wait for the full release. Keep up the hard work. 

This demo was absolutely perfect. It's a sin to have to wait for the full game to be released.

This demo is awesome. It has hours of content that got me invested. 

An excellent demo to really show how the game plays. Little buggy with the backlog appearing randomly but nothing game breaking. Puzzles are well crafted and the voice acting is phenomenal! Definitely keeping me eye on this

Excellent, another ontological mystery game to look forward to upon the full release!

The artwork is nice, the music seemed fitting (if a bit loud at times), and the voice acting is quite good!

I enjoyed the characters and their dynamics so far (Vivian x April, MAKE IT SO 🌈).

I'm intrigued by the writing, especially with the different endings in the demo and how that'll branch out in the full game.

The puzzles were interesting and decently varied (even though I struggled with one of them, b/c the in-game hints kept telling me things I already figured out on my own :').

And the game has a flowchart!  You love to see it. ♥

Maybe I'm blind, but it wasn't clear to me that the different arrows on the flowchart go to separate sections of it, so I wonder if there's a way to make that (more) obvious.

I'm excited to see more!

I can't wait for more!!! 👀👀 Thank you for the beefy demo!!
