I WAITED THREE YEARS FOR THIS WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!! i'll comment more but for now i just want to say you're a genius for having the tone tag indicator thing. this is genuinely such a lifesaver I CANT WAIT TO PLAY!!!
I decided to play through this again when I remembered that the demo was rereleased with some changes and WOW did it not disappoint. I actually really feel bad for the demon (before Zorlok) because from the beginning they were really chill and just talking to Tommy, especially the questioning scene. It was like they were really bonding and it genuinely made me distressed seeing the demon's whole identity and memories being erased. And the betrayal they felt when Tommy unknowingly made those changes!
In the original demo, there wasn't any sort of that bonding moment (from what I remember), it was just a contract gone wrong and the demon being a stereotypical demon who would take advantage of Tommy. But this demon actually really made me feel a connection and man, it must have gutted Tommy to realize that Zorlok isn't just a random name, it's a name that holds an identity in Tommy's head that the contract clung to and changed the demon.
I'm hoping that the demon isn't too pissed off at Tommy but then again, their entire identity was erased for that moment. I'm hoping they went into hibernation or is watching everything from inside their body watching over the entire fiasco because then it would soothe my heart. Aaaa I'm so looking forward to July 13th! I hope we get to have more scenes of Zorlok and Tommy navigating this confusing part because without the knowledgable and experienced demon, they're literally newborn babies.
2yrs ago i thought this was the best if game i've ever played, today it's even better. i'm crying. i have tears in my eyes. it was so worth the wait, thank you so much
NOOOOO WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A DEMO, AND WHY AM I (Tommy) SO STUPID, NOW ZORLOK IS IN PAIN NOOOOO (this was an awesome game and the writing was amazing! Gotta love it. But also-) NOOO IT HAD TO ME A CLIFFHANGER NOOOO.
First of all, amazing writing. Honestly better than some actual books I've read. Additionally, the amount of customization really surprised me, especially the fact that it all actually affected dialogue. The minuscule details of glasses and claws being the only abnormal features that I chose each had their own line, it makes me want to just replay the customization to see what other unique lines I could get.
Wow...just...wow. I never thought that just the prologue of a game would be so entertaining. The world-building has been great, you set out a clear (albeit unorthodox) objective, and fairly extensive customization options. I'm excited to see how this will go so please, despite what anyone might say, don't feel pressured to get out a new update when you still have concerns.
I only learned of this webtoon a few weeks ago from an anonymous fan suggesting it to me (I honestly don't read webtoons, there's just other things that draw my attention more). So, I'm not sure if this is meant as an accusation that this is stealing a concept from that story or if it's merely an observation, but I feel the need to point out either way that stories take inspiration from each other all the time (to that point, I am sure that webtoon, like my story, is inspired by Faustian pacts but that doesn't mean we're both stealing from Dr. Faustus). Even if I had read this webtoon and decided to write this (which is not the case) then cool. Who cares? There's a lot of other stories that did inspire this one, and I'd be happy to talk about that if you (or anyone else) is curious. :)
Yeah, they might not be, and I hope that my response didn't sound harsh or anything, but that's a sentiment/critique I've seen a lot online and really can't tell their intent with the text available. And thank you, there's more content on its way soon :)
I didn't mean it as an accusation, I'm sorry if it came off that way. I was only pointing out the similar feel it had, as it's one of my favorite webtoons. I'm looking forward to more updates! The writing so far is great, and the dynamic Tommy has with the demon sets it apart from other IF's I've read.

So stoked to see this updated! The new and improved Prologue was tons of fun.
I have waited.
Patiently.
And finally, it has returned.
Zorlok has returned.
And it is better than I ever expected.
Absolute cinema.

having to experience your consciousness and entire sense of self being erased was uhh nightmare fuel. but the demo was really good

WHAT THE FART I LOVE THISSS
can't wait for an update.
We're so back (thoroughly enjoyed the prologue re-release as much as I did reading Zorlok the first time)
Remember kids, always read the fine print, otherwise you might lose your sense of self due to some idiotic wording.
WE ARE SOOO BACK ?!?!?!
This reminds me an awful lot of the Webtoon, Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell.

he probably isnt. Just pointing out it has same vibes. Honestly I loved this game and I was so sad it was just a demo. I really wanted more content

Sorry for replying to this so late, but thank you! I really appreciate that :)
