Demo update: straight into the fight
Grimvault games
The demo just got a quicker start.
Your first fight is the tutorial
On your first run, seven short tips cover the essentials during your first fight: filling your Reserve by sacrificing cards, the three card types, and how to answer the monster's cards. None of them stops the fight, and "I already know this" skips them at any time. Win the fight, and the run keeps going with the same character and the same deck.
The full tutorial is still there, from the main menu, whenever you want the details.
Your score is always saved
At the end of a run, you can now type your nickname right on the results screen to post your score to the demo leaderboard.
Installed the demo before September 27?
An older install folder can stop Steam from loading in the game, so your score can't be ranked automatically. Uninstall the demo, then reinstall it from Steam. Your progress is kept.
Not sure? Right-click the demo in your Library, then Manage > Browse local files. The folder should be named "Raise, Rise and Die Demo".
Thanks to everyone who played and sent feedback. See you at Steam Next Fest in October.
