So [the competent DEMO] is finally here

Hi.

Over the last few months I took some decisions that basically changed the core of the game.
For good. I think. (…and hope.)

But that also meant the original Demo was no longer a good representation of the game, and that's why, well… That's why I made it again.

Forget about the old Demo. That NEVER happened. And say hi to [the competent DEMO].

A demo with more content, new plot elements, improved visuals, and a much (trust me), MUCH better performance.

CHANGES

- Plot and Gameplay -

  • 3 main characters instead of just 1. That means 3 points of view of the same day! *
  • New puzzles.
  • New characters and an extended plot.
  • The inventory is now always visible. (YOU WIN OK?)

* This will only affect the full game. The Demo ONLY covers part of the Delivery Guy Plot.
(It's a demo, don't be greedy.)

- Graphics and Sound -

  • All backgrounds and character designs have been improved or directly re-drawn.
  • MANY new animations and visual effects. (Who laughs now, Pi*ar.)
  • New menu interfaces (They don't suck anymore!)
  • New tracks and sound effects.

- Performance and Optimization -

And this is the big one.

  • No more random FPS drops. The game is now graphically undemanding and could run on a potato.
  • Loading times reduced from 5-7 seconds to… basically non existent!
  • Videos no longer cause problems with low-spec systems.
  • Demo size reduced from 345mb to 70mb. That's a 20% of the original size. THAT MEANS I DID MY PART.

And I guess that's all.

Nah, here's a gif.
