Hey there, thanks for the comment! We're glad you enjoyed the First Look Demo.
Really glad you felt the Corpse Party influence. That one definitely stuck out to me when I first played it a few years back, so it's not a total shock that its influence snuck its way in during the gameplay and level design. Last Call's aiming for a different tone for sure - more mysterious and surreal - but the gameplay will still feel very familiar even as we move forward.
As for updates, we're currently sitting back, collecting feedback, and seeing what we can do when we move forward. Additionally, Kerry - the game's artist - said he was working on a project related to Last Call. So keep an eye out, and we'll share what we can when the time comes.
