I really enjoyed the intro sequence, amazing way to introduce mechanics as well as the story! I enjoyed the combat, I liked the variety in enemies and their attack patterns but hope more depth is added to it via upgrades or different guns. The cooking portion I felt wasn't extensive enough for me to really give an opinion on it.
I read the steam page but I'm still struggling to picture where the game is headed and how the cooking will be part of the gameplay loop, I assume you'll get some sort of currency or upgrades from doing it or maybe unlock areas?
Overall the game looked gorgeous and shows potential for a great adventure, I look forward to seeing it develop!

Thanks for playing!
We watched the VOD and you were right on the money when you were describing the loop! The restaurant would be how you make money to be able to upgrade your weapons and buy travel supplies to explore new areas. We are planning on fleshing the restaurant out more, what we have in the demo was more of the groundwork. And yes, you will get to customize your gun per color later. So you could have two identical shot types or two different ones if you like.
Dogwood is a narrative-driven game. Although there is progression in the exploration and restaurant, the main goal you'd have is to complete the story. Also, at full release, the story will unfold differently from the demo, so hopefully that's something to look forward to
Super glad that you enjoyed the game, and your stream was just fantastic!
