THIS MIGHT BE MY GAME OF THE YEAR WHEN IT COMES OUT
From the very start the movement is smooth, responsive and deep to the point where I am considering becoming a speedrunner. The weapons are cleverly designed and it feels good to use them.
Character and enemy design is really fitting. The visuals as a whole are really vibrant and nice to look at. Also love the aestetics and the colour palette is really nice to look at.
I only have a few small(sorry if they dont seem small or are harsh in any way) complaints which overall still let me enjoy the game greatly[POTEnTIAL SPOILERS]:
Gyin seems to weirdly switch up from the first[friendly if a little arrogant] to the second[seemingly irritated] and third[actively adverserial] time you meet them and it feels really jarring. But given the benefit of the doubt this probably only happens because its a demo and maybe Gyin isnt even the one who will give you the sword throw ability in the final game(because its weird that they give you a tool to let you progress further, but not much later advise against moving forward at all)
The bosses are too easy(at least on normal difficulty, will try on a different one)
The parry doesnt cancel the swing animation which makes it feel really unsatisfying when you press parry upon seeing an attack is coming but it hits you anyway [edit: maybe I just need to adjust to it]

(Would actually love to be a playtester if you're in need of any)
Thats it. MUCH love, the game is AMAZING!
