Loved the demo! Really nostalgic and seats itself very comfortably in the early 2010s.
Dig the art too, sprite work is really fun to look at and the GB/GBC aesthetic hits nicely.
The narrative is really strong. Very relatable and I found myself giggling almost end to end at all the old references, era-specific dialogue and altered property names (WcDonald's LOL!).
Great game you have on your hands, keen to play more when it's ready.

Ahhhh, thank u so much! really really appreciate it! love the art/style/vibe of Denari + your work in general, so am totally blushing now loll ❤️
stoked you enjoyed the weird references and nostalgia, I think a lot of that silliness has helped keep the proj fresh on the dev side of things. very fun to go trawling urban dictionary and knowyourmeme to spark old buried memories!!
excited to share the rest (when it's done cooking!!) 🔥
