I find the increasingly defensive answers and ill thought out tries at discrediting the review to be hilarious and I am definitely monitoring this for a dose of good cheer (for me). Keep clenching those buttcheeks, Nouin. Don't you dare let anyone discredit your flawless work. Note how I didn't say anything about this thing being a game, it's obviously not, it's a demo. A demo is not a game, after all.

Y'know just to see myself, I played the demo, and after doing so I agree even more with the review. The game just doesn't do it for me, looks aside. First of all, you lay the horror aspects on way to thick straight away with no buildup whatsoever, leaving me with the opposite effect, laughing at how there are buckets of blood and body parts everywhere. This effect is further progressed by how little I know about any of the characters, and how generic their personalities seem to be.
Talking about generic, horror really thrives on you feeling that you don't know what's going to happen next. This isn't the case. I felt like I knew exactly what was waiting around the next corner: More buckets of blood, and maybe some shadowperson killing me for no reason. There are plenty of deaths and alot of them seems to be there for no reason at all, or just to force me to replay the game for the tenth time (making me even less scared since I totally lose any immersion I had replaying the same part again).
Also you should work on sound more, there are bascially no sounds at all except for when you are doing something. You should think about addoing some ambient noises, this really enchances the game, especially horror games.
I'm not saying this to defend CashmereCat or anything of the sorts, even though I think you are being harsh on him just because you didn't like his review not praising the game. I'm saying this because I honestly think so myself. You need to rethink the horror aspects and characterization. The demo doesn't do anything to make me care about the wife missing or the shadowdude laughing at me just to show how evil he is.

I gotta say I agree with Cashmere here. I don't see anything in the review that would indicate that it's some sort of "rush-job". It addresses all the points I believe should be in a review: What gameplay is like, how it looks and sounds, general story and the reviewers thoughts on these.
Now I can't really tell how much the review has been edited before, but I honestly doubt these areas were left out before, looking at other reviews by Cashmere. What it looks like to me that you are doing is basically nitpicking and finding faults with the review because you didn't like that CashmereCat didn't praise the game enough.
I personally believe that if you only plan on releasing one demo, you should really polish this demo, not just graphically but in all areas. Making the player interested in the story, characters and gameplay also plays a big part. I think that's what you should take from the review, not that it was "rushed". I would call those problems pointing out major things, which is what you asked for.

Reap and Sow Review
Awesome review, doesn't hurt that you liked the game, either. ^^
I'm glad the game made you feel such varying emotions, as my ol' momma used to say: "Better all the emotions than none at all."
Some points I'd like to address:
About the lag every now and then, I'm working on fixing it, probably highest on my priority list right now.
Another point is about the farming not being all that necessary to ever touch, I've thought of ways to make the player try out various stuff on the farm. One such idea right now is to unlock new dreams by reaching certain goals on the farm, such as owning a cow or getting a certain amount of gold. Something like that. Another solution is that you have to "sacrifice" some item to dream every night. If anyone got a better solution, feel free to share. For now, I don't mind the demo not forcing you to farm, though.
I'll definitely work on improving other stuff you mentioned, too.
Thanks for playing the game, glad you enjoyed it.

Townlore Review
Good review, and on the whole I agree. It's not so much a game as some sort of addon for the creepypasta, which also could use some work, by the way. This would probably be better as some sort of text adventure, or maybe even a visual novel.
