This was genuinely one of the most fun game demos I have ever played. The nostalgia hit me like a truck, it perfectly captured the time period and I love all the references that I was able to pick up. My only real issues are the hit boxes for some things feeling too small and some of the spoken dialogue not matching with the text boxes. That took me out of a few moments.
Also, I don't know why some people seem to think the portraits are AI art. Is it because of the style clash alone? This style is highly reminiscent of things like the covers of Fear Street books and old video game cover art, so I actually think it works perfectly.
