Hi everyone, Cipher here.

First off, I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who viewed, played, downloaded, or added the game to their collection. It really means a lot.

I've been chatting with Creator X recently, and as I’ve mentioned before, parts of this game reflect real-life scenarios and aspects of who we are as people. This was my first time creating a narrative like this, and I truly enjoyed every part of the process.

🛠️ What’s New in This Final Demo Release?

Here’s a summary of the major updates since the last devlog:

• Inventory System: Not fully functional yet, more of a proof of concept for future development.

• New Sounds & Music: Added more atmosphere to the experience.

• Location Tracker + Background Tracker: Helps with orientation and adds to the immersion.

• UI Overhaul: Made significant changes to UI and choices layout. (Some backgrounds are still missing but will be added soon.)

• Save/Load System: You can now save and continue your journey!

• Character Portraits: New visuals for dialogues.

• New Characters Introduced:

  • Maria

  • Mr. Stolz

  • Jax

  • A mysterious figure...

🌟 Extended Demo Content

• Added Maria's path

• Included a small side quest

• Overall, the demo has been significantly expanded.

I’m sorry this update took longer than expected—originally planned to release it about two weeks ago. Since this project was built using Ink, InkJS, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, there was quite a learning curve.

💡 Recommendations & Notes

• I recommend starting with the delivery path—it’s the most fleshed out right now.

• Other paths are in progress and will be expanded in future updates.

• If you find any bugs or issues, please let me know! I’ve tested extensively, but some things might slip through.

👥 Community & Contributions

I also spoke with Creator X—he’ll be taking a 2-month break from active development but plans to work on the game gradually during that time. His focus is on planning out the full experience for everyone.

If you have ideas, suggestions, or want to contribute (artwork, code, anything creative)—we’d love your help! We’re also working on setting up a Discord channel soon, which will be the hub for behind-the-scenes communication.

🙏 Closing Thoughts

This mission has truly been a blessing. Creator X is incredibly grateful to be able to share this journey with you all. We both are.

Until next time—stay strong, enjoy the game, and keep the feedback coming.

Cipher out.
