I like Tommy but I literally want to strangle him after he made me into Zorlok because right now my character is like a hissy, sopping wet cat in the rain. Great writing!
Holy crap, okay, this was such a fucking ride and I love it. I named my demon's alias 'Magdalene' thinking nothing of it, and Tommy actually pointed it out! I was not expecting that! Makes me wonder what other names I can put that gets different responses.
You've really thought of everything, author, bless
The writing is good and the music adds to the atmosphere, but up to the point I read you have more control over Tommy than Zorlok. Even though the synopsis makes it clear that you are supposed to play as Zorlok.
To be honest it feels like Tommy is supposed to be the main POV character.
Edit: What I wrote above only applies to the prologue ^_^
At the start of Episode 1 you are in Zorlok's POV and I also would not change it because the way the reveal is written is really cool.
Yeah, as the rest of the game comes out you'll play more as Zorlok. Tommy is the POV character for the prologue, which is most of what's been released at this point, but that's it.
Oof tommy is so accidentally infuriating. I like the kid but i also simultaneously want to zip his mouth shut. He's giving my poor demon a headache 😭 kid is a walking trouble magnet and i can't wait for my mc to be in complete denial about caring for him later 🤣♥️
This game is awesome. I know it's just the prologue, but I am loving it already! I especially like the the way you're coding it, there are many (fun and interesting) choices in the game and they are incorporated into the writing in a very even, fluid engaging way. (If you know what I mean). Oh and the music! I especially love the main theme. Anyway, I think I've gone on long enough. I am very intrigued, I will wait patiently for the first chapter.
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.

I continued reading and I ended up really liking the way you handled the POV switch. I never read anything like that before in IFs.
Thank you! :)
Perfect timing for the update as I'm stuck with only my phone and essentially no internet for today. Glad to have this to read :)
>"Wait!" Worry saturates Tommy's thoughts. "Lilith? That's pretty... conspicuous. Are you sure that's the best choice?"
Damn I'm getting called out here

My wait finally ended.

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.

God this is so good, everything about the UI was immersive and I was so invested... dammit I knew Tommy was gonna fuck it up! UGHHHJHDKDJISJFHIAKDJ
