With meticulous settings and vivid details, we've designed the in-game dialogue choices to be set in realistic environments, allowing players to form deeper connections with diverse characters. Using a blend of 2D and 3D scenes, detailed hand-drawn animations, and dynamic camera work, we aim to create a cinematic experience even in a side-scrolling game. Our core focus remains on delivering a fun and engaging experience while telling a thought-provoking story. The new stage in this DEMO includes a part of the story from the later part of the game, and its playtime is around 20 minutes. We hope you enjoy it.
