Demo version 0.9 now available!

It's been a while since we last released a demo version of the game but here it is!

This will likely be the last minor version before the complete release version.

Due to core changes to the game, old saves are invalid and won't load.

Hope you like this version and let us know what you think of it on our Discord: https://discord.gg/J2fbFYkqbD

A complete playthrough on normal difficulty should be about an hour.
