The demo was so nice I read it twice!
But seriously, I read this twice. Once yesterday and again today to really get my thoughts down. And my thoughts are that I like it a lot! Short, but packed with just enough interesting detail to make me curious about the full release. And knowing what I know about the original Bluebeard tale... oh man, this is going to be an INTERESTING read regardless of how close or loose you choose to follow it.
I also love how you can compare the artist's artwork in this to past games and clearly see how you've maintained the charm of past games like Oceanic Hearts but continued to improved over the years to refine your style.
Looking forward to what comes next!
