Just finished the demo and I don't even know where to begin the compliments. The writing is so good. Not just the story, which is excellent, but the individual conversations are so well written, and the characters are really compelling. And the art is beautiful (downtown especially looks gorgeous). And the sound design is perfect; the intermittent roll of thunder gave me chills. And there's so much depth - I was not expecting the sheer number of things I could look at or interact with. It gave me Quest for Glory flashbacks in the best way.
No notes. Can't wait to see the full game and find out what the hell is going on and (hopefully) fix the world!
Loving the game so far! The art, sound affects and story details are so compelling. My husband and I have been playing for hours. We are stuck at the "gain Maya's trust" portion though and are not sure how else to continue.
We do think we also may have stumbled into a bug of sorts because we were so stuck we decided just to start over but ended up with the same inventory items and abilities we had already gained which caused a weird glitch where we were stuck in our room with a dead phone we couldn't answer.
i don't want to post too many details so no one sees the puzzle answer but I think we're still having some issues. We updated the game with the last patch and started fresh but we're stuck at gain Maya's trust again.
We found all the crayon colors, we asked about Castelyn and we even got the prompt that says the sketch matches the description and showed it to Maya but our task will not update to say we've gained maya's trust.
Any suggestions?
Do we maybe need to uninstall and then reinstall the game again if it's possibly still saved the older version on us though we saved the new update by replacing the old files in our zip folder.
If the version in the bottom-right of the main menu says v1.0.0.5, then there's no need to reinstall the game. In the sketch, what color are the sword and bell she's holding? Those each need to be a specific color to solve the puzzle.
So, without giving too much away, the illustration notes offer clues to what a few of the colors are, but copying the notes exactly is actually NOT the solution to the puzzle. :) You're on the right track, but don't worry about making the sketch match Maya's version of Castelyn. Who else does the sketch look like?

Thank you very much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it, and I'm truly humbled by your feedback. :)

Wow, thank you so much for playing and for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it!
Regarding the puzzle you're stuck on, a few questions/clues:
1. Have you revealed all the crayon colors in the box? (Not the missing crayons, just the white ones that were already there when you found the box).
2. Have you asked "Erevyn" about Castelyn? Did she give a description of what she was wearing the last time she saw her?
3. How does that compare to the warrior drawing in Maya's sketch book?
Hopefully that's enough of a nudge to move you forward. If you're still stuck, let me know!
cool thanks for the hints!

Hm, interesting. When you say started over, did you actually go to New Game and start fresh, or just load a previous save game?
We went to the menu and selected New Game and started fresh.
Aha! Found it :) The fix for this will be included in the next patch being released this weekend. Thanks for your help with this!

Wait, sorry no. I think I know what's happening.
