I have to say I massively enjoyed this demo. Mixing a standard visual novel style with action sequences, solid puzzle-solving and a slew of Sherlock Holmes-esque sleuthing really works a treat!
Toss a bunch of great characters and some gorgeous background art into the mix and you've got a winner!
There were a couple of small issues, one involved a save point not restoring me to where I was properly (I was meant to be outside in the rain but was still inside the eponymous Villa when I loaded up), and I had to restart the game, but that was the only game-breaking bug I ran into.
The translation was a bit off at times, but I always appreciate the effort that devs put into getting their work translated into other languages, and on the whole the dialogue was well put-together enough to follow (and any times I noticed anything a bit off the mark I make sure to mention it... and I never intend to offend or be a jerk when I do that, it's the English Studies student in me coming to the surface!)
So yeah, this demo was great, absolutely criminal that it hasn't received more attention to be honest! ! I noticed that the full version of the game is lurking around on Steam, so I'll be making sure to snap a copy of that up soon so I can see where the story goes from here!
I started playing this game for my YouTube channel just as a fun one off video but ended up really enjoying it! Can't wait to finish the game and see how it goes https://youtu.be/UEmzJwBYbQ0

From the studio:
《The Vigilant Villa》 is our first game, and after 253 days and nights, we finally developed a demo of it！
Although our game has gone through two tests, there are still some minor problems in this demo. For example, after choosing the death ending, we cannot return to the game. We need to call up the archive or select the chapter to return to the story. In this regard, we are working hard to optimize.
And we'd like to remind you that it's important to save as many files as possible as you experiencing this demo.
For this demo, we did some language localization, but it's not perfect yet. To be honest we can only do this much within such a short period…( The transaction of art materials is a big amount of work, we will replace it by the time, we beg your excuse here from our heart)
If you have any comments or suggestions while experiencing the game, please feel free to communicate with us. We will carefully record your suggestions and feedback!
Thank you all the way support, we will continue to learn, adhere to the courage, persist in the unity of knowledge and practice. #adventure #rpg #puzzle
