Loved the Demo!
At first this game immediately caught my eye months ago because of the art style! I don't know why but it reminds me of a series of books from my childhood about Ralph S. Mouse by Beverly Cleary.
And yesterday I found out this game finally has a demo so I just had to try it!
I was very nervous at first because I wasn't sure how good or bad it would be.
Normally with open-world or even semi-open world survival games, I usually suffer from analysis paralysis because of the overwhelming amount of choices needed to be made. Then my brain freezes, I get discouraged, and then just drop the game.
I must say I really hope the full game keeps the same pace as the demo had, because the pace of progression was spot on!
I eagerly looked forward to what I had to make next or to repair, instead of dreading it!
The overall vibe of the game too is very cozy! Like actually cozy, not the genre

And because the game takes place in winter, it was really reminding of the one part in one of the mouse books, where the mouse was stranded out in the cold of winter and then came across a cozy hotel and managed to survive.
So even though this game has nothing to do with those books, it does have a nostalgia value to me, in a weird but good way!
And I thank you for in a way bringing those books to life in a way! ^_^

Now I did use only a controller while playing and I was very happy that the game already has full controller support!
The main issue I came across was item stacking.
Items seemed to only want to stack to 4 and then would create a new pile.
And if an item was on you hotbar or inventory, picking up new items wouldn't stack, if wood was in the hotbar, picking up more it would go into the inventory.

Also it would be really nice if we could move the items around in the chests in the future, instead of having to put them back in our inventory, then back in the chest just to rearrange them.

Overall though, this game is such a pleasant experience! Totally looking forward to the full release! Can't wait!
~Thank you so much for providing us all with a demo! :Dyno_Heart:
