Post Trauma news & patch notes

Post Trauma patch 1.05

Hello there! Thank you everyone for all the amazing support you showed for the game, it has been amazing seeing how people from all over the world played the game. This is the first update, more things will come. So please continue to share your feedback because it helps me a lot! If you liked the game and did not leave a review please do it! It helps A LOT to boost the visibility of the game at the Steam store. The patch will also be rolling out to consoles over the next two days. Thanks again! ❤️ -Roberto

Gameplay changes:

• Updated Roman's movement so turning feels less sluggish.
• Added the option to use Tank Controls. (Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated).
• Added a new attack animation for the spear and made the current one a little bit faster.
• Added new enemy spawns.
• In hard mode now there are more empty tapes to pick up and I improved the visibility of all tapes so they are easier to see.
• Reworked how the dynamic loot system works. Ammo now has a higher chance to spawn and it's less likely to find two drawers with the same loot. If you have no med kits at all (chest included), the chance of finding a med kit will be higher.
• Allowed people to go back to the second save point in Act IV (the one before the stairs going up).

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that was causing the player to run even if they were not holding down the run button. (A feature for toggle run instead of hold is planned for the next patch)
• Fixed an issue that was forcing players to click "Resume game" at the save game menu instead of allowing them to use the back button shortcut.
• Now if you have the Y axis inverted the flashlight will also reflect the change not only the camera.
• Fixed an issue that was allowing the UI to show during cutscenes.
• Fixed the text at the mix samples machine in the hospital not reflecting introduced items after reloading a save.
• Fixed an issue that was causing the equipped weapon icon not being updated for some players.
• Fixed gun clipping issues at the prologue cutscene.
• Fixed an issue that was affecting Roman's moustache making it look brighter than intended.
• Fixed an issue that was causing the clothes of the king to flicker for some players.
• Fixed mop bucket physics so the player is unable to climb on top of them.
• Fixed "You are here indicator" at one of the school maps.
• Fixed an issue that was causing the model of one monster to not disappear after being killed in a cutscene and reloading the game.
• Adjusted the interaction trigger for giving the salts to Roman.
• Adjusted collisions in some levels.
• Minor stability improvements.

Hi everyone, It's just five days until the launch of Post Trauma on April 22, and we're continuing to celebrate the countdown to launch, answering some of your burning questions about the game, putting them to the creator, Roberto Serra of Red Soul Games. In this, we're discussing the importance of puzzles to the game, the power of a good soundtrack, the inspiration behind Roman, how the game builds tension and what Roberto loves about horror. It's almost time to enter The Gloom - are you prepared? //////////////

You describe Post Trauma as a Horror Puzzle Game – What is that?

In line with classic style of survival horror games, Post Trauma is made up of puzzles for you to solve. These are designed to be tricky - hopefully just the right amount - and are a core part of the experience when you boot up Post Trauma. You might even want to ask a friend for some advice on a few of the puzzles. In fact, when we released the demo, I saw two people solving the same puzzle together and having fun with it. And during development, we purposefully tested the puzzles with friends - some people got stuck in puzzle A, but solved puzzle B in 10 seconds, whereas others solved A in 10 seconds and got stuck in B for quite some time. But the hope behind every puzzle is that as soon as you figure out the solution, you say “ooooh I was overthinking it, this makes sense”. We could have simplified all the puzzles in the game so no one got stuck, but then none of them would have felt rewarding to solve. That does mean, though, even if you love horror games, if you dislike puzzles, Post Trauma might not be the right game for you. I believe games like these are making a comeback, even if in slightly different ways, but with Post Trauma our small team has purposefully designed the experience to look and feel like it’s coming right out of 1996/1997. But instead of opting for the pixelated, retro looking graphics, we’ve used modern rendering techniques to show what a present day interpretation of this experience can look like. We hope we’ve been able to achieve that.

Should I have a pen and paper? Maybe I can use my phone?

It’s not required but it might help. Just with the demo, I've even seen people using screenshots, others using their phone, pen and paper or streamers asking chat to “remember this number for me”. But even with all of that, we tried to make sure that all the relevant places you need to solve a puzzle are close by so there's not too much backtracking. Each level is self-contained and the puzzles within them should feel like they're part of one big escape room, with the aim being to find clues around you to advance to the next level. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/94e5737dc42b9c0db1fd997fe521537e0b3562d3.jpg

Tell us more about the soundtrack for Post Trauma

On the first prototype demo, I used a copyright free track for the credits, made by the amazing Nicolas Gasparini (Myuu ) A few people tagged him on videos and tweets about the game and thanks to that we talked a bit over twitter DMs. It was a weird moment for me because I was a big fan of his work since the early days of youtube and now we were talking about possible future partnerships. After getting funding from Raw Fury I contacted him again because I wanted him to do something made specifically for Post Trauma. He is an incredibly talented composer and immediately knew the vibes I was looking for in Post Trauma, but more importantly he knew what the game needed more than I did. At the beginning I asked for super specific stuff and he delivered, but he also shared experiments and things he thought the game could benefit from, and oh boy he was RIGHT. I am super proud of the Post Trauma OST. It has the vibes I was looking for and more, it has inspirations from classic tracks but it still feels like its own thing and I can not wait for everyone else to enjoy it as much as I do.

What was the inspiration behind Roman?

When I was making the original prototype while trying to find a publisher, I tried out a few placeholder characters. The original game idea had a young girl as the protagonist, but when Epic released a tool to make digital humans, after creating the first iteration of Roman and trying it in-game, it just felt right. Roman is a normal person. Someone who, if you saw him on the street, you would not pay attention to him. He's someone that just goes about his everyday life, who does not know how to fight and therefore it makes sense that if he runs for too long he gets tired. We wanted our players to feel vulnerable, to step into the shoes of an average, everyday person, and in many ways, Roman was the perfect vessel for that feeling. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/02103120242d42b6a8caec7207b39cc5cafec332.jpg

What do you love about horror?

I really do not know how to answer that but I'll try. I think horror games have a cozy feel, I know that might sound dumb, but that is really the first word I thought, might be nostalgia talking here. Horror games (at least the ones I like) force you to play slowly, they improve your empathy by making you feel bad about the poor soul you are playing as. I also love puzzles and horror games are filled with those. But I what I love the most about horror is the community around it, nowadays a lot of communities have toxic fandoms, but the horror one is (for the most part) super welcome and full of beautiful people, I don’t know why but that’s how I feel.

What is it like developing a modern horror game?

It’s hard, very hard. There’s a lot of pressure now as the space has changed from the era we’re paying homage to. But even from when we first started work on Post Trauma. We just wanted to build something that is meaningful and enjoyable for players but that has taken a lot of time and effort. A lot of the difficulties are coming from the fact that this is my first game as a director and that our team size was also very small. And again, this is a modern horror game, but only on the visual side of it. The gameplay is old school, I could have gone for a retro style, (and most probably my next game will be on that style), but for Post Trauma I wanted this style for it, and I am very proud of it’s visual identity, but realistic graphics also come with a set of expectations that are very hard to match with limited resources. As you can imagine, a small, remote, indie team, working on a game to try and make it look, feel, and sound like a big budget AAA release (also on PS5 and XBOX on top of that) presents many, many challenges. Some people have seen the trailers and commented, “Post Trauma is the next Silent Hill!”, but let me tell you, it is not. Post Trauma is a love letter to the old Silent Hill style made by fans with limited budget, that’s also why our game has reduced price, that does not mean our game is short or bad, it is not, the price is to manage expectations, we are aware of the limitations of our game and I hope our players are too. We also want to acknowledge the stop and start nature of the campaign, between the delays we’ve had and the sudden changes we’ve had to make. But it has all been to the benefit of the game and to always strive to create the very best experience possible. There are lessons that have been learned and things we would do differently, but we are very proud of the game we built and we really believe you will like it too. I also want to use this space to say that I greatly appreciated the reaction to the demo during Steam Next Fest and I’m very excited for people to check the game out on April 22! See you in the Gloom Roberto

Hi everyone, With just one week to go until the launch of Post Trauma, we're celebrating the countdown to launch with several News Posts to answer some of your burning questions about the game, putting them to the creator, Roberto Serra of Red Soul Games. Today, we're asking what was the inspiration behind the game, how long it's been in development, who's been working on it, and the games that left the biggest impression on Roberto. Not long left to go - Don't forget to Wishlist Post Trauma if you haven't already and prepare for release on April 22! //////////////

What Inspired You To Make Post Trauma

To be honest, I started the development of Post Trauma as something “just for fun” - At the time I was working at another indie studio, but I always wanted to do something of my own. I posted some screenshots on Twitter/X and to my surprise, the game got a lot of love. So I decided to quit my job and focus solely on Post Trauma. I have always been a fan of old horror games, more slow paced with a big focus on puzzles and atmosphere over action scenes or big jumpscares. And as a hybrid developer - between an artist and a programmer - fixed cameras were the perfect excuse to make beautiful shots of any scene. I'm the type of player that, if given a good photo mode, will spend more time taking screenshots than actually playing. And in my personal opinion, fixed cameras can really work in favour of the horror aspects of the game.

How big is the team at Red Soul Games?

When people ask me how big the team at Red Soul Games is, I never know how to answer in a short sentence. So now that I have time, I will give you a long one. Post Trauma started as a solo dev game. If you don't know me, my name is Roberto Serra and I used to work as a tech artist at Digital Sun Games (Moonlighter, Cataclismo, The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story). Being a tech artist allowed me to write basic code and do a lot of the art on my own. There’s a lot of store bought assets that I had to adapt to fit into the style of the game, but of course I needed help if I wanted to finish the game. Two months after signing with Raw Fury, in June of 2022, Pau Pujadas joined the team as a concept artist/art director. He is incredibly talented and elevated all the weird stuff I had in mind for the game times 10. I wish we could have included all the crazy concept art he did because some of that stuff is breathtaking. Pau's strongest skill is 2D art, but he also adapted really fast and was able to produce some amazing sculptures and organic fleshy monstrosities. And thanks to Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite, we could use optimized versions of those sculptures for the environments. For the story I had a rough idea of the events that should happen in the game but I did not know how to develop the character or what to do with the world background. That’s why we contacted Cameron Suey to help us with that. I gave him some documents with vague ideas and story events and after a few calls he was able to produce an amazing world with great characters and well written dialogues. So although he is not a member of the Red Soul Games team, his contribution was very important to Post Trauma. In February of 2023, almost a year into development, Andrés Montalvo joined the team as a 3D artist. He was a much-needed addition to the team, as Andrés was able to create actual good geometry for our game, and able to translate the 2D created concepts that Pau did, into amazing 3D models. He even designed some other great models on their own. In July of 2023, we finally got an animator and Javier Alonso was able to animate our characters and creatures the way we wanted, up until that point we were using a mix of premade animations and procedural ones. In the last year of development, a good friend of mine joined the team Francisco López, an Unreal Engine 5 developer, who helped me focus on other aspects of the game while he took care of the bigger programming tasks. And not too long after him, Luis Monrocle, joined the team as audio designer. His work on the sound design of the game elevated the quality so much and made everything sound cohesive and oppressive. Not to mention our fantastic composer, Nicolas Gasparini (Myuu) but we'll talk more about his work in another post! That’s it. Of course, the credit list is way longer because we had help from a lot of amazing people from other companies. But the peak of simultaneous people working full time on the project was 5 people. And for most time during development, we were just 3 people working full time on Post Trauma. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/5c8b8b7a051418aa97e70eb2f863349f4feb0e17.jpg

What is the most important thing to understand about Post Trauma?

This is a very small, indie team - working on a game for three years - who have just tried their best to recreate something that looks like it fits on today’s market. We love these games just as much as you and with Post Trauma, we’ve tried to find a sweet spot that, we think, fans will appreciate. I think it’s important to recognise that this is a homage and a love letter to classic PS1/PS2 Survival Horror Games but we're just using modern day processing power and graphics to tell that story. Modern horror games are quite different now - and that is a good thing - but sometimes I miss the feel older games offer. Post Trauma has been designed to feel like those older horror games, offering that alternative perspective we feel has been missing on the market for some time, and I hope you recognise that vibe immediately. And just like those classic games, Post Trauma will not handhold you too much. The puzzles require some thinking but they are not impossible and will hopefully feel rewarding. The combat is simple - and there will be some jank here and there - but hopefully it's good enough that you will feel the tension, think about every item in your inventory and spend time thinking about your progress. Maybe even be a little bit afraid of dying and losing progress because you forgot to use the radio to save the game. Or perhaps you will decide to restart a save on purpose because you accidentally used a shotgun shell on a weak enemy, realising that those are actually quite hard to find. There will be puzzles, a lot of them, and you probably will need a pen and paper to help solve them. And while there is combat, the aim of the game is to build atmosphere through music, story-telling, setting a scene and making The Gloom and the environments Roman finds himself in incredibly distinct and unsettling. This is classic survival horror re-imagined, but still a puzzle first experience. Our small team has done everything possible to try and bring this style back with a modern day feel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/6e71c7a8c44d8887604571645e5882a65f6d591b.jpg

Which games left the biggest impression on you?

A lot of them! It’s hard to pick. My favourite game of all time is The Legend of Zelda, Majora’s Mask (The N64 version, not the more recent 3DS edition). The different ways characters in that game deal with their inevitable death was very interesting to me. Silent Hill, of course, is a big inspiration. My favourite one is 4 and I really like how that game mixes fixed cameras with first person. But also after a few hours the game corrupts even your “safe place”. However, I must say my favourite horror game is Dead Space! Post Trauma might have taken inspiration from all of those, because, even if I'm not adding those references on purpose, maybe my subconscious has because of all the games that I've played in the past.

How long has Post Trauma been in development?

The actual development has been exactly three years. I signed a contract with Raw Fury in April of 2022 which allowed me to restart the development. Before that, all I had was a vague idea of what the game would be and a demo, which was made in a few months and somehow held together with duct tape and dreams. But that initial demo got a strong reception, and not long after I signed with Raw Fury, we reannounced the game at The Game Awards. We’ve been building to this moment ever since. It’s exciting, scary, daunting, and there’s been a few bumps in the road, but we’re excited for everyone to finally play the game on April 22! See you in the Gloom Roberto

Hi everyone, We want to extend our gratitude and thanks for your continued support of Post Trauma. As a very small team, your input continues to be invaluable and we deeply appreciate all of your comments over the course of development. However, due to some unfortunate, unexpected circumstances, we need to push the release of Post Trauma back by a few weeks. The new and final release date is April 22nd, 2025 across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. We can also confirm the price point of the game will be $14.99 / €14.99. This is not the position we want to be in so close to our previously intended release date and recognise the game's development journey has been tricky to navigate; be assured we don't take this decision lightly. We're incredibly sorry for any disappointment or frustration this announcement causes. Thank you for continued patience, we look forward to welcoming you to The Gloom on April 22nd, whether you're playing on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S. - Raw Fury and Red Soul Games {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/f916ce4ffb4a6a2549f49c5cea48780bf0a0310e.png

For now, what we can tell you is that Post Trauma will be in this months’ Steam Next Fest! That’s right, you’ll soon be able to check out a playable slice of the game and enter The Gloom for yourself. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/b94eccee74282a32cf9630228b01c212dd013e61.png This is a huge moment for us.

Hello! First, we just want to say thank you for the overwhelming support following our release date announcement. We really appreciate all of your messages. While this was not the Halloween we had planned, we do have some exciting news to share! You can now listen to the full Post Trauma Main Theme on YouTube and Spotify, composed by Nicolas Gasparini (Myuu). Listen on Spotify or Apple Music And that's not all...

Save & Sound

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/3e3dab1346cae61fedbac49e78ed4dd9830f5af9.jpg We're honored to announce that we'll be part of this years' Save & Sound! On November 5th, beginning 11am PST/ 8pm CET, you'll be able to watch and listen to the Post Trauma Main Theme, with a very special arrangement from Myuu. We hope you'll join us there! See you in the Gloom. Roberto

Hey everyone, We’ve been so delighted to see the response to Post Trauma and we cannot wait to get the game in your hands, but we do have some unfortunate news to share about release. We're so sorry to announce that Post Trauma will no longer make its intended October 29th launch date. These decisions are never made lightly and we understand any disappointment. Sadly, we don’t think the game is in the state it deserves to be just yet, and we want to ensure the first experience players have with Post Trauma is a special one. Among other things, we need to tweak the difficulty curve, as well as polish the game and fix bugs and we prefer not to use post release patches to add things we feel should have been available on release. We are also working hard to make sure the console versions are as good as the PC experience and vice versa, but as a small team this presents many challenges. Our goal has always been to make a game that meets high quality standards and provides players with a lasting, unnerving experience that will make the hair stand up on your arms. Thank you for your understanding and patience, but also for your support and enthusiasm for Post Trauma. With a little extra time and attention we can bring you the game you deserve in 2025 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41489631/1544584046fddb5760371145e4f3fed905f4ce85.png Raw Fury and Red Soul Games

Hello! In case you missed the big news last week, we've announced our release date! Post Trauma will officially launch on Steam on October 29th 2024, just in time for Halloween! This is an enormous moment for us and one we're incredibly excited about. There's still a lot of work to do between now and then, of course, but it won't be too much longer before you're able to play Post Trauma for yourselves! In our latest trailer, you get a new look at the Metro Station, an area that will be familiar to those who played the original demo on Itch. As you can see, it's come a long way since then but that's just the start. You'll also get a look at some of the creatures you'll face, areas you'll visit and other characters you'll meet. We'll talk more about all of that in the coming weeks between now and release. Perhaps the biggest thing you'll have noticed is the title track for Post Trauma, composed by Nicolas Gasparini (Myuu) playing in the background. We're all thrilled you're now getting a chance to hear the music for Post Trauma and it's but a taste of what to expect when the full game rolls around.

Fantastic Games 2024

As if that's not enough, it's just been announced that we'll be at Fantastic Games 2024 this September. In this first ever event, the sickest and most spine-tingling upcoming sci-fi, horror and fantasy indie games will be showcased in Austin, Texas, presented by Day of the Devs! From September 20th till September 22nd, players will be able to check out Post Trauma alongside some other fantastic horror titles in an event sponsored by the likes of Blumhouse Games, Devolver and Raw Fury. It's an incredible opportunity and we're so grateful for the chance to connect with the community, but are even more excited for new players to dive into Post Trauma. And that's not all! Stay tuned, as we've got a lot more to talk about in the weeks and months ahead, so make sure to Wishlist Post Trauma and tell your friends to do the same! See you in the Gloom. Roberto

Hello there! It’s been a while, hope everyone is doing well! As you may have recently seen, we were featured during the Guerilla Collective with an all-new trailer for Post Trauma! And in case you missed it, you can watch it here! You may have noticed our release window has changed. We were originally targeting Spring 2024 but as development progressed, we realised we needed a bit more time to make Post Trauma the best game it can be so we’ll now be launching Fall 2024. I trust you will understand and can forgive us for the short delay! 💔 Hopefully you can already see the progress from our latest trailer which includes a look at some cutscenes, as well as updates to character likeness, game mood, lighting effects, and more. The trailer also shows off the voice acting talent in the game for the first time, including Togo Igawa as Roman, but also the brilliant Autumn Ivy and Hyoie O’Grady. We’re excited to share more about the cast of Post Trauma in future updates, but let’s just say Roman isn’t the only one trying to survive in this terrifying, twisted place. You may have also seen that we announced some additional platforms for Post Trauma. We’re really excited to be able to invite more players into The Gloom and we will share more news about this in the coming weeks. Speaking of, some members of the press were able to get new hands on with Post Trauma at a recent press event in the Raw Fury offices. And we’ve seen some amazing coverage from the likes of Eurogamer and PCGamesN, and it seems they really liked the game!. We’re so delighted to see the response and grateful for the kind words.🖤 I want to thank you again for your patience and continued support of Post Trauma, we appreciate each and every one of you. You definitely won’t have to wait so long for an update from us as there’s a lot more to come in the next few months. Keep speculating on the trailer, let us know what you think about the progress, and be sure to wishlist us, share and shout about the game as much as you can. It helps massively. Have a wonderful day! Roberto

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing great. I am doing super great! We just got featured on the Gamescom Opening Night Live, this is the second time Geoff Keighley has given us the chance to share Post Trauma with the world I can can't say thank you for it enough times. Thank you to all the people that have been there from the beginning, thank you to the people that got here from the Game Awards and thank you to all the new people that just got here! Please remember to wishlist the game if you can, it's a free and easy way to help us out! There's a lot of stuff I want to talk about, so I'll start with this. What did you think of the trailer?! I really hope you liked it, we tried to tease a lot of stuff without spoiling anything from the story. Where's Roman? What are those creatures? Is that the same spider lady from the original demo? And who is that woman on the speaker?!? I know all the answers but you will have to wait until the game's out . And speaking of when the game is out... We just announced that the game will come out SPRING 2024! That might sound super far away but trust me, in game development it's just the blink of an eye. Though the team has grown a little since the last time, we are still suuuper small, so a lot of those extra hands will be working to make sure the quality of the final game will be awesome. This week at Gamescom journalists will be able to get a glimpse of the game, it's the first time we are letting several people try the game this way since we released the original demo, so I can't wait to read what they think! I hope they will enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it. I really don't know what else to say besides THANK YOU for supporting the game and making the dream of this indie dev become true! I hope you have a great day and I will see you all in The Gloom. Roberto

Okay, I have a lot of things to tell you, A lot!! And I don't know where to start so I guess I'll start by thanking you. Thank you!! Thank you everyone for your patience with me! I can finally tell you that a few months ago I founded an indie studio named Red Soul Games and for the past few months we have been working with Raw Fury on Post Trauma. This is wonderful news for the development of the game, but I want to make it clear that working with Raw Fury won't make Post Trauma a bigger game than the one I had in mind when I released the demo. It means that the game will receive a lot more love.. Thanks to RF I can now have a lot of things that I couldn't take care of on my own or that a publisher does better than me. It also allows me to bring new people to the team like for example Pau Pujadas, who is helping me A LOT with the art of the game. I apologize for the lack of updates so far, I have been focusing 100% on the development of the game and I must confess that interacting on social networks gives me some anxiety, sorry if I missed some DMs! I would like to introduce you to Elena, Alexandre and Gemma, who will help me a bit with PR, marketing and social networks. I will still be there! But with their help, I will be allowed to focus on the game as well as keeping you updated on how the development is going. For now I can confirm that the game will be released on consoles as well as PC, it was always the intention but now I have help to make it happen! I will share more information about that soon. In case some of you don't know what this is all about, it's because yesterday we announced Post Trauma at The Game Awards, thanks to Geoff Keighley and the team behind The Game Awards for giving me the opportunity to share Post Trauma with a lot of new people. Go watch the announcement trailer if you haven't! LINK I honestly don't know what to say, I'm still afraid to wake up one day and realize I was dreaming. A little over a year ago I left a stable job to dedicate myself completely to a demo and now I can live from it? Impossible, this must be a lucid dream. Many thanks to HorrorVisuals, and especially to all of you who shared the Post Trauma Demo with the world, without you this would not have been possible. <3 And to all of you who have just met Post Trauma, WELCOME! Have a wonderful day! -Roberto

Hello everyone! Almost a year ago I shared with you all a demo for Post Trauma. The reception it got was incredible, much more than I expected, which made me very happy. That said, I want to share that at the end of this weekend’s Steam Scream Fest, Post Trauma’s demo will no longer be available on Steam. This is good news, don't panic! I'll explain why below. I made the demo in a very short period of time, and in order to have something playable, I used a lot of programming tricks. I don't regret doing it this way. The idea was to release a demo that would show the potential of the game I had in mind and see if people would be interested in playing something like this. And you have proved that it is. During the last year I have continued working on Post Trauma every day. The whole game has been remade in Unreal Engine 5, so updating this demo is not a viable option as a single developer. The quality of the game as of today is far superior to what you see in the demo and I am very proud of what Post Trauma has become. So, why am I going to disable the demo on Steam? Simply put, the reason is marketing. I have very good news that I will share soon, but for now what I will tell you is that as more people are introduced to Post Trauma, I want them to see the game in its best state. The demo is very good as a concept, but it has shortcomings that new players may assume represent the final game experience. To close this post I will say: to those of you who want to replay the demo, don't fear. After it’s removed from Steam on Tuesday, Nov 1, the demo will still be available on itch.io and I promise to bring you a new and better demo in the future. Thank you very much for your support!
