Aaah, thank you so much! That's very high praise and I'm really glad you enjoyed it
My logic with it being free is because I want to continue this project into the future, and essentially just give a "taste" of what it could be. I'll definitely need financial support to continue - this was all done out of pocket and was pretty expensive (though rewarding in it's own way).
I'm hoping people get a chance to play through the Demo and consider helping me continue it through Patreon if they have the ability to, or otherwise "spread the word" about the project.
Also, BOINK! And I'll definitely try - I have the motivation and the resources...just not a bottomless bank account.
