This has been a long time coming! We're happy to say that the demo has officially entered beta, after a long wait. This means there are no more placeholder assets, and you're free to enjoy the entire first chapter of the game — typically over 1hr of gameplay, depending on how fast you are.

To be clear, even though the game can be enjoyed in its current state, we're still not done with the improvements! In particular, we're working towards improving the environment art. We'd like to add more assets and more detail to really bring the game's world to life. Additionally, the creative aspects of the game, like dialogue and UI design, are always subject to change. But for now, we're happy to show the game to the public, and I personally want to collect as much feedback as possible so we can make the game as best as it can be.

Thank you for your support! ✨

As always, we appreciate all comments and feedback. You can leave bug reports on the game's itch page or email them to admin@scarletstring.moe. Likewise, you can publicly comment with feedback if you'd like, or leave an anonymous message in our suggestion box.

Finally, if you're interested in following the game's progress, we invite you to join our Discord! This will probably be the easiest way to stay on top of demo updates and beta testing opportunities. If you're not into playtesting and you just want to play the game in its completed state, please join our mailing list and we'll let you know when the game is launched.
