About Macintosh M1/M2 Demo problems:
We tested the demo on the earlier intel mac version before releasing the demo and it was working great. Unfortunately, there are some specific M1/M2 mac version problems. We'll soon have I-Mac with an M2 processor in our studio. :) So we'll debug all specific M1/M2 problems and we'll fix them. We hope to do that at the end of this month. At the same time, we will prepare a dedicated apple silicon build.

[h3]About The Demo:[/h3]
The demo is quite long and should give You over 1 hour of fun! We did everything to make it as best as possible but keep in mind that the whole game is still in development, so We are open for remarks as we are still improving some elements.

The Demo UPDATE 2!

Hello folks!

Here we are again! With the next demo Update. This time it is focused on improving gameplay and adding more hints!

Some Of you let us know that You didn't pass throw the first part of the demo as You didn't know where to search for Quern Stone. Now it should be Easier!

Also, some players with ADHD reported to us that they have problems with riddles that have voiceover but are not written down somewhere. We Improved that too. Thanks for reporting that. We'll remember that design for the full version of the game!

Thanks for Your Feedback!

[h3]The End of The Sun Demo - Version 13.02.2023. Change list:[/h3]

Cutscene changed to give more hints about the quern stone puzzle
Added more sparks falling from the sky to focus better player's attention.
The barn riddle is now written on a piece of paper. It appears after the first mistake. Now players who have problems with focusing just on voiceover (Which could be hard with that kind of riddle with a lot of information) could just read the riddle on a piece of paper.
Added watermark information "Press to change to Custom" in video settings, as we had reports that it was unintuitive to click a grey rectangle to set custom settings.
The barn riddle objects are now activated after hearing the riddle the first time.

[h3]Why wishlists are so important for Indie Developers?[/h3]
Small indie teams like ours (3 people / 2 full-time) in most cases do their marketing on their own. We are not different here, We spend days and weeks promoting our game otherwise, creating the game would have no sense. (without a final audience) The steam wishlist is used by steam algorithms to show the game to more players. Basically if you are adding the game to Your wishlist in some way you Vote for it.

Adding our game to wishlists gives us more exposure and we could spend more time on developing the proper game and less on marketing. :)
