Thank you for updating the demo! The first version, although confusing, was still a 5/10, but the update brought it to a solid 8/10. The only problems are the lack of background music, sound effects, and a weird wall/ceiling collision bug that caused me to soft-lock twice.
The condensed conversation routes are fluid, and the 'return' button makes the dead ends far less frustrating. Not having to wait for conversations to fade is a massive quality of life change.
TL:DR; The game is GREAT. The art is extremely cute, the concept is novel, and the solutions are rewarding. After finishing the second puzzle, the Large Mosaic, I found myself hungering for more content. I can easily see myself paying for a longer, more furnished game in the future.
Looking forward to your next creation,
