Demo version of Journey to the East II: The Empress and the Sorceress, has been released.
This is the direct sequel of the first game in the series and resumes the next part of the journey: The Ametarashi/Karys arc. However, you don't need to play the first game in order to play the sequel since you get filled in on the details.
The demo includes the prologue, chapter 1, and introducing chapter 2.

Approximately 2 hours of gameplay.
Let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions on improvement.

Enjoy.
