This game immediately had my attention with the description and the art style, but it's been sitting in my, "Want to Play," list for awhile. I finally downloaded it, started it up and played through both demos tonight. The beginning demo had me HOOKED. The music along with the environment had me creeped out, but I wanted to know more. By the end of the beginning demo I just yelled, "WHAT?" The middle demo had me asking questions too, and I'm so excited to play through the full release. I can't wait!! I had to go explain all of it to my husband and now we are conspiring and making theories as to what is actually going on. This is going to be amazing and I can't wait to see if any of our theories are right or if we're completely wrong. The writing is well done and I love the characters already, with August being my favorite so far. I'm looking forward to the release!! :)
I loved the demo i cant wait for the full release. Is that still planned for september or has the plan changed? I love your art style and the scary and suspenseful vibe of the game ive never seen anything like it. :)
Was there a Meramec Caverns billboard before?! I may have just overlooked it the first time, but that little detail is just perfect. If you have time, can you explain what's extended? This demo seems to end in the same place as it did a year ago? Still very excited for it.
Haha thanks; I think it was there before, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Malcolm and I see those often driving around Missouri!
The extended version includes the "Middle" demo option, which allows you to play another segment of the game and meet more characters. There is currently no option to play straight through, though. Hopefully that will be available in a few months with the full game! XD
I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue. Currently, both versions are available for download (the titles have "v1" or "Extended" suffix). Hopefully we can fix the extended demo errors soon.
We have added the latest demo here to itch, although it sounds like some people are having issues installing and playing. Currently, both versions are available for download (the titles have "v1" or "Extended" suffix). Hopefully we can fix the new demo errors soon.
I'm having problems with the new demo. It will not install with the itch.io app. at all. It attempts to install for a few seconds and then just stops with no error message. I'm running on a windows 10 64 bit os. Intel i5-7500 cpu, 16 gb ram and Radeon rx 460 gpu.
I can get the downloaded and unzipped demo to run but it doesn't seem to be the extended demo. It gives the option to start the demo from the beginning or the middle and if I start at the beginning, the demo ends just after August says "I believe we're surrounded." The demo then says 'to be continued' and goes straight to the credits roll. I can then restart and choose to play from the middle but then I have no idea what has led up to that point. The demo seems to be missing content or not running it correctly. I uninstalled and purged all the saved games and references to the previous Crimson Spires demo, before playing the current demo, so I'm not sure what's going wrong.
I was able to download the demo through the itch website, but it's very glitchy. I had intially thought it was broken (the screen was stuck on just a blank, black screen) but I waited and the game did eventually load but there was a LOT of lag reading through the dialogue and with transitions (new characters/sprites appearing, and every scene transition got stuck at the black screen again). I finally gave up at the first investigation screen wen the dialogue box didn't load correctly after examining the bloodstain.
I'm sorry to hear you had these issues! We're investigating the problem now. Can you tell me whether your computer meets the minimum spec requirements (added to download & install instructions)?
I am very excited about this game and been looking forward to the new demo since the announcement on your twitter. Though, from what I can tell it has not been updated yet, am I correct? Also, do you have a Discord channel?

Aw, sweet! I saw that, but I forgot it by the time I got to the end of the first bit. I'll go look at that as soon as I'm off work then. :)
I can't download the demo. After pressing install nothing happens. I'm quite curious about this game . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

is this the latest demo? on their steam page they mentioned something about festival demo, can somebody elaborate on that?

I don't see the spec requirements on this page, but it's Windows 10 64 bit, 8 GB RAM, 3.10 GB processor so I would think it should...
I'm trying to download the update in the itch app and I keep getting an error: unsupported compression algorithm (not sure what that means).
I can't wait to play the full game! 😍
Do you guys think the full game will be Mac supported? I really want to play but I don't have access to a windows OS :/
Have you tried using Boot Camp?
I'm really looking forward to this game and I was hoping to play the new demo. Has the demo been updated here yet?

Thank you, Endraca! The new demo release has been pushed to June 16. We do have a Discord channel here: discord.gg/j5BYj2W
