It sounds like you only played the Demo. Try downloading the second file as well.

Oh, I'm on the itch.io client so I just clicked the Install button and launched what it gave me. Guess that defaults to the demo.

But, why is there both a demo and a full version if they're both free?

The Demo is an isolated portion of the main game. I'm working on it separately to iron out the technical kinks before integrating it. You can see this post for more details: https://www.patreon.com/posts/59518356.

Does the client not allow you to download the second file? I didn't realize there was a client. I will take a look when I get to my PC.

Oh, it does. It's just that it doesn't prompt me for which file to download. I actually have to install the demo first before I am able to manage the installation to also download other files. Which I don't usually think to look for, since the other files are usually versions for other OSes or earlier versions of the game, not supplementary files.

I think you could reduce confusion by calling it something other than Demo. Though I don't really have a good suggestion for what to call it, since this isn't a common method of distribution.

That makes sense. I downloaded the client and now I understand the problem. I attempted a solution. Try the new download and see if it is more intuitive.

It's more clear that there are two separate installations. Still think the Demo shouldn't be called Demo though.

Awesome. Fair enough. I'll think about the name.

I got the idea that you could probably just call the Demo "Monastery," since that's what the place is called in the actual game.

Yeah, that's not bad.

Comment incorporated. Separated them into two separate projects and released an update. 

It seems that when you did that it also prevented installing The Archmage via the client.
