I immediately liked the old MS-DOS feel of the graphics and music. The environment looks good, the color palette fits the mood well, and the facial expressions of the characters are great !
The story is really intriguing - I like the mystery that is begging to be solved. And ohh, I love stories in which protagonists are on the run from powerful enemies , so I'm definitely curious where this is going!
The game looks like it fits the themes really well. I'm not an expert on magical realism, but from what I know it's checking all the important boxes. Memories are definitely included. The space theme is used a bit loosely so far, but there are enough hints that can be read as the path leading there eventually. And the use of the pizza theme had me bursting into laughter - brilliant! I'd love to see more bits of humor like that.
The controls are straightforward to use. The only thing that confused me was that I did not need to actually click around to search the environment, but was automatically taken through the interaction just by pressing the space bar. Maybe that's because it's still a demo ?
I really enjoyed this demo, and I'd love to play the finished game later!
