This is to (hopefully) serve as a small happy boost:
I played SSP for the first time in 2016, then I read the sequel, the short stories, and looked at all the fanart I could find. Literally consumed whatever I could find. I was a slightly different person back then, and at the time, I could see a lot of me in Snowe. So naturally, I loved the game. Every few months, I replay it and re-read the stories, and I find that I enjoy it a lot like the first time. There are a lot of fun dynamics to think about, many moments that I enjoy, and many "I've done this before!" exclamations every time I mess up the names of the statues. I love every moment of it.😊
And as someone who's been working on a project on-and-off for almost seven years now, I kind of understand (only kind of, because it is a personal project just for myself). Sometimes projects just...don't, and that's okay. It's sad, especially when it's a project you love, but what doesn't spark joy just doesn't, and life does not need any more stress.
Thank you for putting all that effort and work into making the demo! I really love the demon's new dream scarecrow form (he's my favourite chaotic fire gremlin :D). I wish you the best on all of your projects, current and upcoming. And I hope life gets better for you! 💜
