Hello! Thank you for the feedback, it's very much appreciated!
I've taken notes of these, and I'm gonna see what I can do (though there will be stuff I won't change like the jumping mechanics, as like you said, those are pretty integral to the game).
I'm really glad you enjoyed your time with, and that the story and direction got you engaged.
If you haven't already, I recommend reopening your save after the Verona fight. The demo goes further, and offers new areas, aswell as new weapons and bosses!
I have and I went into the mall a bit and haven't gotten far but I plan on continuing soon
a thing I forgot to mention and just remembered is that you should make some alternate dialogues for some things
there were some characters in the construction area that I only met after I beat the boss and they sounded like they knew me already which I assume is a continuation from if I talked before but it doesn't really make sense
