Suggestion regarding the demo
I just played the demo and it's pretty nice. I already like all the characters and dread the inevitable slow decay of the protagonist into madness.

One suggestion though - if you ever release another demo: cut some (or most) of the random encounters and rush to the first loop and let the players experience some actual looping. This is your core appeal and what separate you from other "undertale-likes" (at least marketing-wise, your writing is MUCH better then most games I have played, seriously, I love the gang to death). I wanted to try the game to see a looping story, something like the Mother of learning, and the demo is ending just as the looping start. Add to this the fact that the changes in the new loop are changes from a baseline reality the player didn't actually participate in, which makes the ability to change time feel less real.

It might also be good idea regarding the actual game, as re-experiencing random encounters again and again risk boring the players (though I guess you already have some ideas as to how to address the problem in general).

Good luck, see you on release!

I thought the Demo was really cool as it was.

Yeah I liked it, and it definitely feels expanded from the prologue. But I was hoping for some actual looping in this.
