Until now, the demo did not include Showdowns, the special word puzzle that awaits you after defeating the Master Villain of the current settlement. Showdowns are where you'll uncover the next piece of the Grand Puzzle, the next Lesser Word of Yendor that brings you closer to solving the mystery of the adventure.

By popular demand, the demo has been extended, and now you can experience the excitement of Showdowns too. However, please note that in the demo the adventure will still conclude after completing the 2nd settlement.
