Major Updates: Demo V3 Releasing in March

Hey everyone!

After our successful Kickstarter, we've been working hard on refining the game and turning it into the masterpiece we once envisioned. Slowly, but surely we're getting there :)

Demo V3 will be released in March, showcasing all the improvements we've made! If you haven't played the demo yet, I highly recommend waiting until this version gets released!

[h2]List of improvements:[/h2]

✅ New character sprites
✅ Enhanced storytelling - better structure, pacing, and dialogue
✅ Playable female protagonist
✅ Upgraded visuals - lighting effects, post-processing, and smoother UI animations
✅ Performance optimizations using sprite dicing
✅ New backgrounds, an improved title screen, and more!







➡️ Check out all the details here.

I’ll admit: this update took longer than expected (perfectionist problems! 😅), but I wanted to make sure every detail was right.

Hope you're all excited! 🎉🎉🎉
