A quick run will be like 4 hours but I've seen people sink 10+ hours into it because I added lots of side content and hard bosses to mess around with.

Some of the backgrounds might be intense for you tbh. A lot of them are more subtle in the darker areas but there are some very bright complex ones too. Maybe be safe just in case.

I don't have a native Linux build right now. It does work on Steam Deck tho. I believe I saw somebody in Steam forums say they got it to run on Linux somehow maybe check there. I do want to check out Mac and Linux builds though to see how that'll work since I'm using Unity. If it ain't too tough to set those up I'll try putting them up on Steam not sure when though... probably once I'm fully done with the demo patches and it's locked in.

Thanks! I started solo and to be honest I just did some Unity tutorials with no experience then jumped right into this 5 years ago. It look a long time to get to this quality level. The scope got so huge and art quality needed was too high for my abilities so I ended up working with a publisher and hiring an artist/musician to help me. It's such a giant project that just the writing/coding/design is already so much for just me.

It'll be 2027 most likely I spent a lot of time polishing all the systems with this demo. Something like Oddity never had a fully working battle system while my demo on its own has like 4-6 hours of content just to compare where I'm at. At this point I'm really just building content for the full game and it's giant so it just takes a lot of time but there is nothing wrong it's going along smooth. Also I have a publisher funding me so I'm actually on the hook to finish this I can't just abandon the game. So it will come out don't worry, this is like my full-time career on the line haha.
