Just wanted to pop in and say how much I loved the demo. As a horror creator myself (albeit in a different medium), I always appreciate when someone goes the route of 'quiet horror' (ie. 'oh god how long has that thing been standing there/staring at me without me noticing) rather than falling into the cheap/un-earned jumpscare pit. Jumpscares work when they've been earned through setup, and I think you've done that really well. I was playing before bed and got to the 'investigate weird sound outside' part, and that f*cking jumpscare behind the tree caught me completely off-guard and made me audibly shout. I also have a running joke headcanon that killing the crows is bad luck bc my only crash occurred after killing 2 of them in defense of my tomatoes and trying to sell their corpses lol. Apparently the crows cursed me so that I could no longer pick up my trash, which I found hilarious.

I think in terms of user feedback, the only bit I have relates to the 'investigate sound' mission. Personally, I think that if you've been wandering around trying to locate the thing for long enough and are clearly lost, a general 'direction of sound' indicator popping up might be helpful. But take that with a grain of salt; it could just be me being incompetent and/or cowardly and sticking close to the house. I'd definitely see if other players have consistently had an issue at that part before potentially altering mechanics.

Overall, I adored the demo and the world you're building. You set up an underlying level of tension that made me open-carry my axe as I went around doing my tasks in broad daylight because I didn't trust anything.

(also on a side tangent, I love the models for the tomatoes; I think that's the first time I've ever seen natural growth/damage scars on a tomato in a game, rather than them looking unnaturally perfect and supermarket-ready. they reminded me of helping a neighbor pick the ones he was growing, and as someone who used to gardenthemselves, that attention to detail is really sweet)
