This game has potential to be quite good if ever finished.
but as i do not recommend demos thats all i can say for this.

the plot...sigh...(stressful start)
saving should be quicker.the book asks you if you want to save yet thats obviously the reason your interacting it the save book...
and theres a delay before you can finally save after that!
...F12 doesn't work...
hmm its getting better.i played something else with this idea. hopefully this is pulled off better
you can move with the map open!? that's freaking amazing!
sadly its not accurate as to you exact location
there seems to be a delay before you can move after entering a new area
same with text sometimes it freezes and i have to wait a while before i can continue
its funny how off the money is in this game.
1000$ for a lottery ticket
300-500$ for a news paper
and 1000$ is considered change
XD
that religious scam is funny as hell
Putz? not good to use words that normal people never hear
you can save with save ledgers and in game options. not sure why.
but that aside you should remove save from the menu since it isn't being used.
i don't know why but the scene where you rush towards to door and outside is so epic!
sadly the battle with the customer is crazy hard to win. its possible but i think you need luck to win.
i wish it let you save after that battle since you get a choice
i stopped playing after exploring a bit after the customer battle.

The bad
This needs work of course besides the features not available as its a demo.
there is also at least in my case. lag and delays. randomly the game freezes for a while and i cannot do anything.
there are also pathing and grammar issues that should be addressed.
this has a map which is great but it does not show the exact spot you are in but close to that.
the good
while the subject of gameplay isn't interesting to me. its still a rather refreshing break from the usual save the world scenario.and how the battles work despite being turn based were quite interesting.
the choices not only keep it interesting but meaningful as you can get stat boosts,items and more depending on what you pick!
?
QTE this heavily depends on the individual if its good or bad.people with slow reaction time wont do well.

I don't care how many glitches it has. Just from the battle system and plot alone, it's a unique enough game to warrant good rating.

It fixes a few potential freezes that can occur in later battles. It also adds a fully functioning version of the key staff member Niles and all of his moves and ability to level up.
Cheers,

@Kumada: You sound like a great business man to me :)
@Tofu:
1.) Yep. The proper main menu with the ability to track progress across all aspects of your business is coming in a future version.
2.) We will have a log with important tutorial info eventually as well.
3.) The battle system is WIP so as we continue to improve and sharpen it, we can hopefully make it feel accessible without losing the depth.
4.) Looking into that. Thanks!
5.) It doubles your speed which can be used in a lot of scenarios to get hidden benefits. Also, it just allows you to move around faster for a short period of time.
6.)There is a 3-in -0 chance of winning something with each scratch and only a 1-in-10 chance of winning the grand prize. Since it's random, it's possible that you just were out of luck :p
7.)That was originally the intent, but it was a bit hard to read... We may reconsider it after we finish implementing the second pass on the NPC interactions.
8.)The concept of "Sales" or more accurately "Profitability" is one aspect that the Profit Meter is related to, yes.
9.)That sounds awesome actually. Nice idea!
Thanks for the feedback and comments. I hope I was able to answer all your questions.

Edit: Also, Investing in Stock early and waiting to sell high a good thing :)
