Speaking of player feedback, here are some incredible responses that we received about the latest demo update:

“The previous demo made me excited for the full game. This new demo increased that excitement tenfold!” -Tonite

“Isles of Sea and Sky is a game I cannot sing enough praises about. It is an absolute masterclass of design on every level that I highly recommend to anyone.” -SapphireDrew

"After speedrunning the game for so long, Isles of Sea and Sky's latest demo reminded me of why I fell in love with this game to begin with. It truly refills the sense of mystery and wonder that keeps you exploring to learn more about the world." -Adventium_

 "When I first played..., I was reminded of my childhood. Playing this new Demo, the same feeling remained if it didn't get stronger… [it] added a new layer of mystery... that has me really excited for the full game!" -Pendragon

"I love when a game surprises me. There's so many mysteries and secrets in the game that a surprise awaits you every turn. The demo is a good reminder that this game is very special and I absolutely cannot wait for the release! " -dackid

 "Every demo update... continues to iterate, evolve, and improve the game, bringing me a sense of joy and wonder each time. The team's passion and dedication has been evident to me from the first moment I first washed up on the beach in-game. I can't wait to experience the masterpiece that will be the full game!" -CyberSe7en

“[Isles of Sea and Sky] manages to take everything I love about gaming and condenses it into one awesome package, it's not even out yet but I feel like I've gotten more from it than even the highest budget titles.” -MartianBlobfish

“I really liked how there were no instructions so that you learned by just butting your head against things. I didn't need any outside help but it still felt challenging. I think the cleverest the game made me feel was figuring out when things were connected that weren't on the same screen.” -archcorenth

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback!
