A whole bunch of changes and improvements since the last one! And a slew of new content and secrets as well...
I made a quick combat-focused trailer for the new demo, if it looks interesting, please try it. The input I got from the first demo was truly great and I think I fixed all things people pointed out. Post your complaints and thoughts, no need to be nice to me.
TIPS:
Many objects in the world can be interacted with, some of them give permanent bonuses or supply you with new moods.
Sometimes you can speak to people more than once, even when there is no (...) bubble by their head.
Cards and moods are powerful tools, change your gear to adapt to new situations.
Moods and intentions are sometimes added to your inventory without informing the player, take a look from time to time.
Synopsis:
(Playername) Winter is looking for an old girlfriend, Velouria. A young woman named Sarah learns to hunt with her dad Billy, both haunted by the memories of a dead mother/wife.
