This is my review of the demo.:
I can tell this one is going to be just as fun as your previous game "the murder of Jennifer Clark". It does feel a bit more text heavy since a lot is mentioned by a narrator with few visuals to support it, but I know it's only a demo and hope/expect more art to be added with the finalized version.

The demo right now is sorta like a prologue (and contains the start of the game/ visual novel) to understand the dynamics between the characters, which is cool. I like the lore building, especially since it still leaves blanks that create intrigue for when they meet again. I like what it shares with "the murder of Jennifer Clark". It's humour, it's wholesome moments and the ability to make you go "what the f***?!"

I've got a recording here, but I've decided not to upload the game(demo) yet as I feel the text heaviness might scare off viewers. Don't let this make you feel disheartened though! I've got full confidence you'll turn it into a great visual novel and I'll come back to it when it's finished to create another video (probably series) out of it. Keep up the awesome work! 

p.s. I was feeling stoked to finally get to solve some puzzles until the demo hit me with the "Ah-ah-aaaah, now you'll have to wait for the release of the full game..." Congrats, you got me hooked. Exactly what a demo should do. ;)

Been busy with school/work and didn't get a chance to reply to this until now. Thank you so much for the review/playing! Feedback like this is always super valuable, especially with a demo. I'm glad the demo got you interested in what's going on. No worries about not uploading the video, I think I told you this but every now and then I'll rewatch your playthrough of The Murder of Jennifer Clark for motivation. Thanks again, Dart Munkey!!
