I played the demo the other day, and I'm SO intrigued by this storyline. I had many regrets about the consequences of my choices but I pushed through instead of reloading (which I was SO TEMPTED TO DO). I can't wait to find out more about what exactly is going on here.
I did run into a few bugs-- such as the price of the candy being set lower but the actual amount needed to purchase being much higher. Looking at the devlog what might have happened is that the price displayed was updated but the amount required on the backend might not have been. Also, I found that if I right clicked during dialogue it let me save? Which was an odd one. Hard to confirm though since there's no datetime associated with the save slot or a visual confirmation of a successful save, and I didn't want to start over and lose my progress.
These are just small things though. The story and visuals are AMAZING. Also I SUSPECTED something hinky was going on there! But I thought I was being paranoid. Clearly not.
