You can fix this by editing your save file manually: it's in %AppData%\LocalLow\The Prismatic Forge\Isekaidle\saves and you need to replace both instances of NaN with 0. This will let you see the rest of the demo, although there are still issues around queueing.

I've noticed that die rolls take longer than performing tasks in the queue and it seems like sometimes the dice become stuck. I *think* it's when I queue a whole bunch of casting and then the furnace goes cold between completing the timer for a casting and the die roll actually happening, but I'm not certain.

Ran into this same problem. I was able to get past it by manually editing my save and replacing both instances of NaN (forge heat and copper heat) to 0.

With a little fussing I got the game working under wine (I see you're using Unity, so a Linux native version would be appreciated although I understand that can be a pain).

As noted by others, there are a few places where I found the UI unintuitive:

• In the crucible I expected to click an ore to select it rather than drag, and as the little ingot icon next to each mold labeled something like "valid ores" (sorry, I exited before writing this) is gray it seemed like maybe my initial molds could only do undiscovered iron and not copper. Thanks to reading a comment above I eventually tried dragging and got it to work, but there are a few places like this where it would help if the UI were smoothed out a bit.
• After exploring the Lake I was told to hold Shift to Identify something. I have never been able to get this to work. I have tried both Left and Right shift while hovering and clicking on locations, tools, and materials and haven't seen any effect. I'm not sure if this is me misunderstanding the instructions or a consequence of how you're reading keyboard input interacting oddly with wine
• Sometimes (I think only if I queued both mining and casting operations), when the dice were rolled for casting it would give me mining results. As in "Casting copper nails, rolled 12, Deeper in the Cave you received crushed stone"
• When I tried to recover materials from the damaged forge to repair it, I didn't receive anything

It was fun to play around with despite the bugs and confusion; I look forward to seeing how the game develops.

The dialogs which pop up when you get an achievement (e.g. "Bought Crab") don't seem to go away or have any way to dismiss. I've tried clicking on it, clicking outside it, right-clicking both locations, opening the shop, opening the options menu. Only thing that works is to reload the page.

Art is cute, sorry I couldn't give it a real try.

Cute start, would try again when there's more content.

Audio is very loud on start and has no controls other than muting music (but not SFX). I'd suggest prioritizing music/sfx sliders with a lower initial setting so people have a better initial impression.

Lovely. First two stages are excellent. Third stage maybe I missed an interaction but I didn't notice anything to indicate progress to completion. I was just making stars and turning the gear and suddenly I'd won?

I was able to get it to run ok (not using the itch launcher) by installing the libcurl-compat package and using:

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3 ./launch.sh

I'm not sure why the dependency on libcurl exists, but it would be nice to update to work with contemporary libcurl.

I remembered my password hadn't been what I thought, so, yes, that was it, works fine now. I had tried creating a new account with an alternate email unsuccessfully, but I suspect that was user error.

Tried to check in on the latest version and I seem to get stuck at the login screen. Launched from command line and I get:

I quite enjoyed the game for about two hours, but I fear I may have softlocked my save.

- SPOILER SPACE -

After obtaining stone form, I entered the caves. I collected the first key (the first one I've ever seen), and took the path up to the outside world, and spent the key opening the well. I got a lovely cutscene, but now I don't have a key to progress through the caves.

I have searched everywhere I can find that I can get to, retracing my steps, talking to NPCs (the dialogues is quite nice, btw), and everything I could think of, and I think other than starting a fresh save I'm stuck.

I hope I'm missing something, because I was really enjoying the game up to this point and would like to recommend it.

Is there any update on this? With your game's inclusion in Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality (thank you!), I expect mine won't be the only Linux-thinking eyes on the game. It's tagged with Linux in the itch system.

You're welcome, and thanks! (And thanks for sharing your game in the bundle)

If you need any additional information, please let me know and I'll see what I can gather.

Tried to play your game (Linux), but literally everything (graphics, menus, mouse movement) is reflected vertically, which makes things kind of difficult.

Any chance you might be able to put out a Linux build of the demo? This sounds like very much the kind of game I'd like to try, and I probably will, but having to get wine happy again significantly increases friction.
