Everlasting Odyssey

okay, just played through the demo and i have to say that i'm very glad to see that you've improved from the times of Everlasting Adventure, Shode!) the battle system is still as dynamic as ever, but the challenge heightened up since you don't get shovered with items left and right, and i love it!) the locations also looks a lot more nicer now, the cave looks pretty cool with the skeletons and the water in the second part, and the entrance to Yggdrasil looks menacing - just how i like it!) the story is also pretty original - never would've expected that BEES of all things would kidnap Charlotte, but that made me all more hyped up to beat their buzzing asses to kingdom come!) the interactions that you can trigger before fighting the first Buzz are pretty nice, too) and lastly, the portal between the entrance and the exit of the cave is great to have - i was worrying about going all the way back to Mossway through the cave just for some weapon upgrades but you got that covered, Shode, and i salute you for that!)

luckily, there are no problems with the demo as of now (ASIDE FROM RANDOM ENCOUNTERS but that's just nitpicking from me tbh, i got used to them already) but there are two small bugs with it: firstly, you can sleep at the Mossway Village inn without spending money or even if you don't have 25 gold on you, and secondly (and lastly too lol), the healing crystal in the cave should have the "Direction Fix" box checked so that it doesn't change color depending on from where you're interacting with it)

all in all, i finished the demo with a positive impression of the game and a desire for more, which is awesome!) can't wait to explore the labyrinth of Yggdrasil and save Charlotte once and for all!) and for you, Shode, i wish you best of luck and nerves of steel while continuing with the development) take care!
