finally

---

Oh finally. I've been interested in this game since March 2020. I believe it was supposed to come out that June but then got pushed back indefinitely and I've checked in every few months to see if it had a date (or it came out and I missed it).

---

I vaguely remember this game being announced, but forgot entirely what it was about or what kind of game it was

I kickstarted it, lets goooo Swery, I hope its good.

---

I also kickstarted it... maybe only the second thing I kickstarted actually (Yooka Laylee being the other)

---

Demo dropped on Xbox today, with progress carrying over the to main game. Think I read that a Steam one is coming in the next day or two. If you played the Kickstarter prototype, it goes up to the same point in the plot, but is obviously incredibly different (and took me three hours and that was with skipping most of the sidequests).

Game feels very Swery so far. Lots of things happening with very little explanation and Naomi is just rolling with the punches. I like her as a protag so far, she's irritable, rude and abrasive, but also incredibly naive and an absolute moron who will do anything for money. Already introduced a bunch of side activities too: cooking, gardening, photography, hunting and crafting. And the map is HUGE, like open world big. I was expecting it to just be the village, but it's big enough to need a fast travel mechanic.

Oh, and you can kick the skin off a rat.

One thing, once you finish the demo, you can't reload your save to do sidequests and stuff, as it just loads you back into the final cutscene, so you'll need to wait for the full game before contuining.
