It is always very useful to read honest critique!<br /><br />Regarding a couple of points:<br /><br />"Why the room is in total darkness defies not only logic but physics, as does the view from inside the room."<br /><br />The answer is that it is not day, it is a late evening, and that dark room does have window (and door) only on the side that is not reachable by the sun. (SPOILER: you will have to revisit these locations at day as well.)<br /><br />And regarding walkie-talkie – didn't you think the person that barred internal door and escaped through the window when you turned on the light could have dropped it?Žilvinas Ledashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01656614168018537507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-78342970032906165622022-03-01T21:38:27.142+00:002022-03-01T21:38:27.142+00:00Lol, I only figured out how to "develop"...Lol, I only figured out how to "develop" two of the three sheets, so apparently the melding thing was not happening for me. Good to know that if you get all three it's auto: I had suspected something like that, but couldn't figure out anything.<br /><br />I feel like a one-chapter demo like that should at least be feature-complete. Anyhow, was fun to give it a quick try.Bart Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490373418825679148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-70011983025960749122022-02-28T20:50:44.784+00:002022-02-28T20:50:44.784+00:00"I got as far as where I would have had to ge..."I got as far as where I would have had to get out a pencil and paper..." If you mean the bit where you have to interpolate words from three sheets of paper, I thought that was a pencil and paper job too. I took screenshots of all three, opened them in Paint.net, pasted them all into one image... and then I realised the game actually does all that for you. You just have to drag each sheet over the next at the lamp and they meld into a single, readable copy. I don't think any games really expect you to get out a pencil and paper any more. You have to be old enough to remember when that was considered normal behavior to imagine it's needed these days. No-one else would even think of it.<br /><br />You're right about it not being exciting, though. Considering they're going for the Syberia/Broken Sword market, games which are both funny and exciting, they seem oddly convinced a static one location, one character demo is going to sell it for them. I suspect they'll be disappointed.<br />Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-69227388209608556902022-02-28T18:57:21.826+00:002022-02-28T18:57:21.826+00:00Tried this one briefly.

Even in a demo, having the character stare at the blank space where a held book would have been is… disconcerting. I got as far as where I would have had to get out a pencil and paper or a keyboard IRL to continue, and decided it wasn't worth it.<br /><br />Thanks for the pointer, though!Bart Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490373418825679148noreply@blogger.com
