Hi all! This is a pretty short post, just to announce that we’ve been working hard to get our demo ready, and it’s now up on Steam. You can go there and press the button and play, and of course it’s free. The demo has perhaps 30 to 45 minutes of gameplay, and I think it gives a pretty good sense of the game.

My Kickstarter will launch on October 7th, and I’m hoping that some content creators who like Cozy Games will play my demo and talk about it. These days, getting streamers with large followings to talk about your game is really the best way to get visibility, otherwise one just gets lost in a sea of titles. So… if you happen to know anyone like this, perhaps you can pass the link on to them.
At least as important is the fact that I am not just talking about the game, but actually sharing it with you, and everyone else who is interested. That’s very exciting for me. If you do get a chance to play the demo, I hope you’ll drop a comment, or send me a note to let me know what you think.
There is a still a lot we haven’t added yet. Even in the section of the game that the demo covers (the first 30-45 min of play) there will be a variety of other things players can do, and other NPC behaviors, but I don’t want to ever sound like I’m making excuses for what’s there. I guess I’ll just say, if you like it… it will get even better. ;)
I know everyone has a busy life, so I don’t want to talk too much here. The one other thing I’ll say about the demo is that it' represents about maybe 15% of the story. It sort of opens the game story but there is a lot more to come.
Thanks to you all for subscribing to by Substack. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my game, and my thoughts, with you all.
Of course I played the demo. I LOVED it!! I was so touched by the story offered in the demo! There were a few issues, which I already mentioned in the TJ&E Discord server, but besides that, I had a really great time playing it! And this is something I want to play several times! I might even stream it on Twitch at some point. We'll see... Thank you so much for all the hard work you put on this game, Greg! I can't wait to support the Kickstarter when it releases!
