this demo was really fun!! while playing it, i was too focused on the puzzles to really process the tidbits of plot being revealed, but rewatching my gameplay has me curious about the small town and what's happening in it.

the art style is very unique! it made me feel like i was in a storybook setting, if that makes sense? and i loved how clear all the sound effects were! the puzzles being an "order of operations" kind of deal make them pretty easy to solve once you've got the hang of it, which i appreciated.

i'm looking forward to the full release and what story will unfold through solving more puzzles!! :] i recorded my gameplay below!

Why asking $2 for a demo ??? Bad starting... 

We don't walk, just "teletransportat" , it's very unpleasant ... Like the right click why ?

The graphics are gorgeous and the music sound good. I 've not continue further, the non-walk disturb me too much. maybe I've giving another try later.
