Demo update #2

Another minor update! Don't mind us!

Changes include:
  • The sound the Star makes when you put everything in valid places no longer plays repeatedly if you keep moving things about - we were watching people stream the demo and it got super annoying, honestly it's the only reason we're doing this update
  • esc button on the main menu will skip the logo sequence for people who are in a hurry to play our extremely chill slow paced game

Demo update

We've released a minor quality of life update to the Unpacking demo!

Changes include:
  • Made the "Witch Beam" whisper quieter so it's not as scary
  • Added control-click for turning items for our one button Mac mouse friends
  • Several items have been marked up to be allowed in more places
  • Caught an issue where the game might not auto save if you quit too quickly
  • Fixed issue where room icons could show up wrong on load
  • Escape key no longer immediately quits from the main menu


If you've already successfully played through the demo these changes are unlikely to give you a different experience but we're hopeful they'll make things a little bit nicer for anyone who checks it out between now and the end of PAX.

But of course you can play it again if you'd like, that's totally allowed.
