Хорошая завязка для большой истории, приятная глазу графика, спокойная музыка. Решил посмотреть множества демо, в утреннее время решил начать именно с неё и не прогадал. Жду релиз.

Clever, adorable, creepy and well designed. Want more now.

The puzzle on your site is good, but only if you use English as the steam language. My native language is not English, so I had no chance. I had to use a hint from discord because steam translates the entire game page including the name
The game is great! I'm waiting for the release.

I did enjoy the demo. My feedback would be that the game isn't really that tactile (maybe I was experiencing a delay?) so it's difficult to tell what can be interacted with.

I like the game so much! When the game spoke in my language, I was left dumb. What the... This attracted me instantly!

Here is my feedback:
- I think the visual of details such as items, small frames should be a little bit bigger. On a 15 inch laptop, some puzzles getting blur and confuse with small frames

- The main frames or sceneries should be able to be zoom a little. some details are really small

- the color template could add a little more contrast (the clarity of contrast). The game color is now too soft, it is blurry and feel sleepy. It may cause some small "puzzle" not so relaxing to understand

- the bubble conversations should be alittle bit bigger since they content visual + text.

Game looks absolutely beautiful, even though I felt the animations a bit laggy. Music is great and the gameplay kind of reminded me of 'Pink panther's passport to peril', which is a game I loved when I was a kid. Really looking forward for the full release!.

I was wondering the same thing! Unsure if the key is in the demo or only the full version? I would think they'd disable the ability to go into that stairwell if you can't get the key in the demo?

Puzzles were fairly easy in the demo. Although some of them were not accessible, maybe because it shows up later in the game. Such as the day/night cycle puzzle.
I didn't get the wrench or key.

The story seems like the main appeal of the game, it is quite mysterious and leads the player on with little bits of information. The demo doesn't explain much, only opens up a lot more questions about what is going on in the town, politics, fears and concerns.

Pros:
- I liked the art direction, feels painted and has an artistic style to it
- Easy to understand point and click controls
- Has assist to show clickable items
- Supports a wide range of languages

Cons;
- (UI/UX) Since default language is English, the player needs to know how to read English to change the language in the game menu. Or just stumble upon it by clicking on all the buttons.
