I liked the demo. There are still a couple of minor bugs with the second game. When you fail a root quicktime, the characters can still move while the animation plays, which doesn't seem intended. If you fail a root and then run into the town while the portraits are still on screen, they aren't removed from the screen until the fight. Also the last input for the quicktime event moves your character, which is annoying when the input makes you move backwards.
I'm also hoping you have a second option for seeing the bigger enemy portraits besides having to lose or wait for them to get it passively. I don't know where you plan for the story to go but maybe we can eventually gift them height in exchange for their help.
