...Why go through all the trouble when they could just patch the base game. Bizarre...

So I'm confused, does buying it here only give me a Steam key, or can I just download the full game here? I don't use Steam, and it seems weird to just not let people who've bought the game here just download it outright without needing to go through Steam's DRM. I think it'd be a lot more convenient without having to jump through so many hoops. If none of this will be the case now, will you at least consider a proper Itch release sometime in the future?

Backed the Kickstarter and played the game all the way through last night! Lemme tell you, it was well worth the four year wait. Overall, I think it was an excellent experience, though I did have some minor gameplay quibbles. I saw on Steam that you'd be doing some updates for the game later, so I hope you'll consider some of these.

One thing that bugged me was how there was no way to see what anyone's abilities did outside of battle. Like, when you unlock a new ability for someone via story progression instead of unlocking it in the skill tree, it'd be nice to have some way outside of battle to see what they do, especially since battles aren't really something you can just reliably or easily get into due to the nature of the game. Maybe some kind of alternate tab or page in the Skills submenu?

Also, (trying to be as vague as possible here for spoilers) there's one notable ability that allows for a bit of freeform creativity, right? Due to the aforementioned scarcity of battles combined with how late you can get this ability, it'd be nice if there was a way to test out the various outcomes of it without needing to be in a battle, like some kind of training dummy or maybe a stage to jam on.

Finally, while I appreciate the breezy feel of the game's difficulty, perhaps some harder difficulty options could be a nice addition for any future playthroughs.

And I just want to clarify, these are pretty much nitpicks. I'd still highly recommend this game to my friends. I even gave my Steam key of the game to a friend of mine since I don't use Steam and she seems to be enjoying it so far!

I'm looking forward to whatever else you have planned for Small Saga in the future. Maybe some kind of additional post-game or New Game +? Thanks again for this incredible experience!

...Okay, I'm a dumbass, I didn't even think to try that. Thanks for the hint!

Really enjoying the music and graphics, but I'm stuck right in the second room and have no idea how to get past the concierge. The text mentions getting the room number from the phone dial, so I figured I'd have to have the hovercraft intercept the call but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Is there any chance you could put up a download for the Daemon here as well? I don't like using Steam and I'd appreciate not needing to install it just so I can download that, especially since it's free there anyway.
