Please answer things like: "What did you enjoy?", "What did you dislike?", "What do you wish was included?" and so on. Also, while I did my best to rid the game of all the bugs I could, please report any you may have found and what you were doing when it occurred. Keep in mind that this is just a demo, and what is shown does not necessarily represent the finished product. Some issues you may encounter are known and all levels are subject to improvement. This is my first game, so please be gentle ;) Thank you so much for playing, and I hope you enjoy! -Pie On A Plate Productions (Just David Campbell III for now.) PS. If the game stutters or lags too much, turn down the settings. This can be achieved in the launcher that appears right when the .exe is clicked, or in the options menu in the game itself by hitting the ESC key. This is a puzzle game as well as a horror game. Use your surroundings for clues. **Donations are greatly appreciated and allow me to continue to learn, grow, and create games like this one (and hopefully even better!)** Contact with bugs, suggestions, or anything in between at: pieonaplateproductions@gmail.com
