First of all, I replayed with the newly updated version, and wow, the story makes a lot more sense when you don’t accidentally skip the first ten minutes of it, haha.

I did end up getting stuck again and having to go on another game-files adventure to find the brass key, although in this case it seems like it was largely just me being unobservant and thinking “I already checked the (wrong side of) the vanity, so it can’t be there.” My file-spelunking did lead me to find some things I don’t think I was supposed to see yet, but they’ve ironically made me much more interested in where this story is going.

Overall, I really enjoyed this demo, despite some frustrations. It’s a pretty classic concept executed well, with a unique setting and likable MC. I’ve gone ahead and followed you on Tumblr, and I'm look forward to seeing what you guys can do.

I definitely tried interacting with that hole multiple times... while facing it, instead of standing on top of it.

Thank you for your help. I will finish the demo and return with more feedback… once I've stopped hating myself and the universe.

I am completely stuck, right at the beginning, and I can't tell if it's a me problem or a design problem. Once I get to the house, I can't go into the basement or attic without light, I can't open the shed, I have a silver key that doesn't open anything, and I can't leave the house because my character says "I'm still having fun exploring." I know there's supposed to be a lighter somewhere, but I've checked every accessible square and not found it or anything else that could help me progress. I went as far as digging through the game files, but that didn't tell me anything either, besides the fact that there was clearly more content beyond what I could access.

Is there something wrong with my game/download, or am I just dumb? (For additional context, I'm playing on Windows and using the Windows download)
