First off, thank you so much to everyone who played the demo and shared your thoughts. I want to acknowledge something upfront: the initial release had some glaring bugs, including crashes that disrupted the experience. I’m truly sorry for the frustration that caused.

Since then, I’ve been working hard to track down and resolve the major issues. Most of the critical bugs have now been fixed, and the demo should run much more smoothly. If you experienced crashes before, I’d love for you to give it another try and let me know how it goes.

Looking ahead, I’m also planning several updates to the demo, including:

  • 🌱 Adding the remaining cutscenes and missing NPC townies

  • 🖼️ Introducing a graphics settings page with a new font and reworked GUI

  • 🧭 Reworking the tutorial to reduce long walks and introduce short-term goals

  • 🏃‍♂️ Adding animations for running, holding items, and applying treatment to patients

  • 🎮 Expanding platform support: controller, Linux, and Steam Deck compatibility

This demo is just the beginning, and your feedback is shaping its future. If you have thoughts—big or small—about what felt good, what felt confusing, or what you'd love to see more of, I’m all ears. You can reply here, post in the community hub, or message me directly.

Thanks again for being part of this journey. Your support means the world.
