Demo Release and Future Plans

Hello everyone, the demo for the game is now on Steam!
It is almost identical with the itch io version with a little more polish and accessibility. It has touchscreen support which I haven't tested with a Steamdeck yet, but let me know if it works properly!

About the demo:
- Playtime greatly depends on your style of playing. The intended gameplay with upgrades will take between 1 to 2 hours. With no upgrades it can take about 8 hours.
- Supports mouse, touchscreen, and partial keyboard input. There's no default gamepad support for now.

Sharing feedback:
You can share feedback through our Discord and Steam forum. The links can be found in-game and through our Steam page.

And also I'd like to share my plans for the full game. I decided to add a bit more gameplay than what I initially intended, so people can enjoy the game in various ways.

Here's what the full game will have:
- Additional skilltree for more upgrades
- Different styles for the shelves
- Various decorations for the shelves
- Different styles for the book covers, which can make the game easier or harder (ex: rainbow themed covers)
- Different themes for the archive (ex: Books of the Future - the life and technology of a distant future)
- You can create your own archive theme! (custom categories and titles) Will probably come with Steam Workshop

And that's it! Would be great if you can leave a review if you enjoy the demo :)

Happy Sorting!
