Happy Halloween, everyone! 

I have been working overtime these past few weeks to bring this new alpha demo out to you~!

This version of the game represents approximately 70% of the game. You can play up until you choose to activate Hugh or Peyton's endings. 

Unfortunately, the game is too big to be able to play in browser. I've taken away the web-build and have a PC and Mac version to download. 

The old web build was laggy anyway, and I have since double the amount of images in this game so it was only a matter of time. :'D 

(I did technically make a web build for this game but when it loads its just a giant orange square. That's a new one for me.)

It means a lot to me that people have been leaving comments and likes on all the updates I've had these past months. When you miss the window for a jam submission, its a sad feeling and you're left wondering "ah... is anyone going to play this...?". 

I realize this game is pretty experimental, and there's going to be a ton of rough edges. Hopefully, you can see the vision I'm going for and can help me get there. 

I've put together a survey that I hope you'll fill out! https://forms.gle/xPn3b27v9eL1ArWn9

I've been working so hard on this game since March and I've been learning so much about Unity. 

But Im at the point where I think I need to start asking for help. Since I'm introducing new mechanics I've never used before in this game (and my other Unity games), getting player feedback is super helpful because I don't know what it's like to play it for the first time!

So I am on my hands and knees begging-- please leave me feedback for this demo!! 

With that out of the way-- here's some known areas that will be different in the full version:

1. Fanny will have an option to talk to her

2. Random NPCs in town you can talk to to give a bit more world-building as well as a later quest

3. I'm going to double the amount of dialogue you go through with Peyton and Hugh. I feel like I can get more out of them and pace their stories a bit better. 

4. The buttons on the textbox will work!

5. You'll be able to hit escape and bring up a pause menu!

6. You'll be able to examine the items and key items in your inventory

7. The book you can buy at Fanny's "A Girl's Guide to the Frontier" will be available to be read. It's a hint book. 

And  I think that's it. 

Again, thank you so much to everyone who has ever left a comment or a like! I'm trying really hard to make this the best it can be (while also not crashing and burning *cries* ) so I hope you'll help me get there. 

Enjoy!
