This demo is f'ing terrible

[Judge Holden]

What are you thinking trying to make players sit thru this incredibly boring, incredibly slow moving, unskippable opening section? It's like it's designed to make anyone trying it run out of patience, Alt-f4, and uninstall.

Seriously, this demo is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The voice acting aside from the protagonist is, I assume, a joke, like you couldn't afford voice actors yet so you told your friends to do the absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ voices they could manage. And there are noticeable seconds-long gaps between lines of dialogue, and even sometimes between lines in monologues. The protagonist does EVERYTHING way too slowly, and you have flavour interactions that repeat the flavour text from similar interactions elsewhere. And you can't skip through dialogue, so you have to listen to the same explanation every time you click on something - even if it's something that is likely to be looked at multiple times like a tarot lock with a hint placed separately beneath it. It really does feel like it's designed to be horrible to play.

We designed this game to be like an interactive movie, things need to have it's own pace, we do this on purpose, we don't care if you want to run all over the place looking for solutions super fast. It's not an FPS. I take the complain about "skip dialog" as a bug, that's something we are fixing for the next update, but the game has a slow pace on purpose.
The comment on voice acting is subjective, we hired all professional voice actors. The thing is sometimes we had to add a new line and because of "something came up" and we needed to record on a different session and maybe the actor sounded a bit different that day, this created some moments of pitch variations that we couldn't address. And we are sorry about that. But if you are suffering from severe anxiety maybe this game is not for you.
All the best,
