Congrats on the demo! Here are my thoughts:
Pros:
- Everything was presented very nicely. The production value felt high for a solo project.
- The amount of accessibility features is impressive, especially considering the game is still in its demo phase. Most of the puzzle hints are helpful without completely spoiling the answer.
- I really liked the main cast. There wasn't anyone out of the main seven who I felt to be disposable or irritating.
- The story so far does a good job balancing giving answers while creating new mysteries.
Con:
- The discussions feel more akin to cutscenes, with the characters doing all of the major deductions. It would be nice if there was a bit more interactivity or decision-making involved.
Speculation/Predictions (Spoilers!)
- I'm really interested in seeing how the tree different routes play out! The rightmost ending definitely felt the most "canon", while the left ending really throws the tone
- Right now Leon was lacking stage presence, though I imagine a large part of this was from the cast wondering if they were even dealing with Leon. I suppose I'm a sucker for dramatic villains, but I'm also intrigued by the concept of a death game-esque story without an antagonist in the center spotlight.
