Major demo update with new goodies!
Hello, Cowfolks and Talewardens!
Our demo has reached version 2.0 (they grow up so fast!). We have added new content, as well as tweaking the gameplay and adjusting the script. So get ready to discover some new goodies!
New features in the demo:
- You can now talk to all 7 companions who will be available in the full game (previously only 5 were accessible).
- We added a gift system! You can give companions items you’ve found. Each has unique reactions that can raise or lower their affection.
- We added more artwork for each item you receive, as well as items you already had (like your hoodie!
- We also added a scene that plays when you wander around the town too much. (Try not to upset the sheriff's subordinates!)
- A little sneak peak of a mysterious character
- Plus various dialogue and visual tweaks and gameplay hotfixes.
Also we're talking part in our first ever jam, yay! Amare Games Festival 2026, so this update is our entry!


Take care!
