Decently put together, but somewhat lackluster in plot.
Hey, thank you for playing and rating! Do remember this is a demo, it's just the very begining of the story.
I enjoyed it! The parody 90s band names were fun, too. Can't wait to see the rest
Hey, glad you enjoyed it, and that you got the references. We'll have way more incoming haha!
