Already pre ordered. Your demo is useless!

This is actually pretty genius. Might actually bite into this by them doing this and I am someone who hasn't played the 1st 2 Famicom games yet
(Unless the game/demo is just not for me).

I just don't get why this game wasn't focused more on the last Nintendo Direct.

This looked interesting so I'll definitely give the demo a shot.

I preordered the physical as well, but thinking about it, I might still bite on this demo. Since it's the first few chapters, there could be a fun social aspect of playing a bit then discussing it online, kind of like following a compelling mystery show episode-by-episode. And you wouldn't get spoiled either!

Demo is live now

Finished the prologue and Chapter 1 and really dig it. The art style is great imo (sorry to disappoint you, S SlimeGooGoo ), and I like that all the characters are voiced and animated (even the protagonist is voiced, which usually doesn't happen that often with VNs).

I also saw that one of the retailers I buy my games from has it listed for €40, so it jumped up to a day 1 buy for me.
