Finished the Demo.....

Loved the demo and look forward to the full game....surprising that not more folks are commenting on this great little gem !

Thank you for the kind words!

We hope that more people will notice it and we're doing our best to make that happen!

while the puzzles were somewhat repetitive to me, i did like the seeker mechanic. i'm interested in seeing how this turns out.

Nice! Reminded me of Sokobond. Is level editor planned for this game?

Thank you! :D
I'm afraid a level editor is not planned.

Just tried some of the demo again and it's literally the only demo/game that sends my GTX 970 into a state of hysteria i.e. GPU load is at 100%, GPU temp is at 80% and the GPU fan is at 100% (according to GPUZ). This game has very low spec requirements and I have the feeling that something changed recently when Steam downloaded an update to the demo. Not up for a purchase at this point, sorry.

Hm that seems odd and unfortunate. We've tested it mainly on a GTX 970 actually, where it works well. Can you provide the rest of your specs for comparison's sake?

No other Unity based game on my system seems to affect my GPU in the same way that your updated demo does.

Thanks for the info. Do you remember when you played the demo last?
We'll have to take a look at performance and see where we can make some improvements.

I finished the original demo back in Oct/2020 and didn't revisit it again until I noticed a recent 40MB update to it a few days ago. Since GPU's are basically non-existent on the entire planet right now, I'm reluctant to jeopardise my 970 !!

I experience pretty poor performance with the game as well, but on a Macbook Pro (2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, GeForce GT 650M 1GB). Turning everything off in graphics settings doesn't seem to help much (at 1440x900 resolution). So far especially The Guard World is slow, The Norn and The Seeker weren't as bad (something around 25 FPS there vs 15 in The Guard).

We're sorry for the current performance issues! In case you haven't tried it, toggling VSync on should help if you usually get more FPS than the refresh rate of your monitor.

But we're working on making improvements and will keep you updated on patches. Thanks for playing the demo and the feedback!

Btw my experience mentioned above is from playing the full game, not the demo. Looking forward to performance improvements, this game deserves to run better, I'm really enjoying it despite those issues.

Ah thank you for buying the game, we're extra sorry for the performance issues. Hopefully it won't be too long until we have some improvements or more settings to toggle on and off. I think meanwhile the only solution is turning off shadows and MSAA and turning down the resolution.
