Absolutely BLOWN AWAY from this!!
I found out about this game from the Legend of Zelda Stream Talk and since I'm hugely into that franchise myself, I couldn't help but jump on the train to see what this little game had which was inspired from it apparently.

So after more than an hour of play time wondering the world, finding every nook and cranny and spending an unhealthy amount of time colouring places in, I can definitively say this is beyond what I had ever expected!

This world is just FULL of CHARM! Every character has a personality to them that makes them stand out. Every interaction, activity and room has some sort of story to it that is explained humorously through the perspective of this wonderful little character you're in control of. If not that, it was the in-game settings that got me real good with the "Yeah" and "No Way!" prompts. There was just no end to the bubbly personality this neat demo had to offer and it was amazing to see!

I first went through it playing on a gamepad (DualSense) and while it was kinda difficult to control the brush at first, I got the hang of it eventually... Then the final part of the demo started and without spoiling anything, that was probably the most fun part of the whole demo showcase! I then tried with Mouse + Keyboard and while that made things infinitely better to control (imo at least), it also made that final moment way too easy, so I think I'll probably play with a controller for the majority of the play-through.

Since you get to continue playing after beating the Demo without having to start again, my only question is whether or not the Full game will carry your save data over from the Demo. If not, that's completely fine as I'd be more than happy to go through it all again a second time!

There was only really one instance where I kinda got stuck for a moment but I managed to get myself free, I forgot where that was though but I'll try replicating it if it's important enough to be patched.

This game has a lot of promise going for it. I personally can not wait for the full release because damn, now I want to play the whole thing! With what this demo accomplishes, it did a fine job of it. Well done!
