Ashwood Conspiracy was very nostalgic and I loved every second of it! I think ya'll have really succeeded in it feeling like a 90's point and click without being too clunky. Being so familiar with point and clicks it was easy to just jump right in but I can see if someone is not familiar, needing a tutorial or at least a controls setting in the pause menu to see what's up. I also assumed I'd be able to combine items but again if someone is not aware of that feature there was no indication of it. 

The game also opened up twice, not on my screen itself but on my stream. I couldn't figure out why that was happening, it for sure could have been an issue on my end but I still wanted to bring it up in case maybe its not. I did stream another demo after this one and did not have that issue but like I said I couldn't figure out what the issue was so I can't say for sure if it was an issue on my end or not.

The story itself seems pretty fun and I am intrigued. The music sets the mood and I think it fits the game perfectly. The art style is also beautiful, again feels similar to older point and clicks but also updated for today. The puzzles were on the easier side to figure out but it didn't feel so easy that it wasn't fun or was boring. I could see this being a great start and then gradually getting more challenging as the game goes on. 

Overall I really enjoyed it and I look forward to the full release! I have included my vod here, Ashwood starts at 10 minutes in.

Thank you for playing and writing your feedback!

We fully agree that adding a tutorial is necessary to help players who are new to the genre and we are already working on it. It will be part of the next update.

Regarding the game opening twice, we haven't seen this issue before. It might be an issue with the game engine we use (Godot). We are still using the 4.3 version and will update to 4.5 once it's released. Hopefully that will resolve it.
