This demo is pretty solid! There’s a lot of interesting mechanics showcased here. If I had any feedback, it would be to explain some of the controls a bit more and tweak the balance of certain moves.
For example, I wasn’t sure what the R button does. It says it’s supposed to be an ability, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. I’m not sure if it’s unfinished or if I’m missing something. Also, the shift button for stealing weapons feels a bit OP. I think adding a cooldown & lowering the speed of it would help prevent it from being too easy to disarm opponents. Some other controls, like throwing away and picking up items, could also have been mentioned in the tutorial.
Also, some of Valerie's dialogue portraits look noticeably stretched. You’ve probably already been aware of it, but they might still need some changes in scale.
My final critique is on the standard pistol, it could use a slight nerf in terms of range. Right now, it's surprisingly long-ranged compared to other guns, which typically use projectiles. I feel like its current range would be better suited for a different weapon, like a laser gun or something.
Overall, this demo is really cool! The soundtrack goes hard!
