Loved the Demo

[Pearcinator]

Hey, just discovered that you guys were making another game after Quern (which was a surprise for me, it scratched that Myst-itch that Obduction didn't).

Played through the demo and loved it! That last puzzle was tricky but I enjoyed figuring out my ticket number. Maybe a bit too difficult for a early-game puzzle? Definitely don't want you to remove it entirely but in the final game maybe push a puzzle like that a bit later in the game?

I also really like the photo checklist side-objective. I hope each 'zone' in the game has its own checklist and there's some sort of reward for finding them?

Already backed it on Kickstarter btw, hope you guys get to finish this game! As for the graphics, they are fine for me. Would maybe prefer it if things that were 'examinable' weren't pixellated or had some other indicator that informed the player we could examine them? E.g. Seeing a piece of paper that we couldn't look at whereas another identical piece of paper could be looked at?

P.S. Was there a way to get into the locked portaloo? I felt like there was a puzzle I missed. I took a photo of it for the checklist (something locked from inside) but it didn't work. Also, I didn't find a card for the phone booth either, was that also something I missed or just things that will come into play in the full game?

There is no way to get into the locked portaloo - well, not yet! :)
I can give you a little nudge on the photo challenge: it is not "something locked from the inside" but "something locked... from the inside" good luck! ;)
There are some things in the demo that will be accessible later on in the game once you return to the area

This clue was crucial for me. I thought inmediatly what was (the WC). And I was right.

Only remains the Captain's pipe. I would swear that is the gun but for more photos I did, nothing.

The pipe was the last one I needed too. I thought I'd found it early and took multiple pictures of a picture of a pipe but that wasn't it sadly. Would've been funny if the game acknowledged it being close but no cigar pipe.
As for a hint on finding the real one: Look in places that captains go or to be more specific boats .

Thanks! The first place I gone is to the boat to pass crouched, next to WC. I knew that I saw this pipe in somewhere but I can't remember where. Was in my first game, when I saw all (and I don't knew about photo challenge until the cat).
