I spent the night playing the demo with a friend in a party chat and we both had a really good time! I like the way the demo explains that cause/effect web mechanic more elegantly (I felt like the trailers did a lot to hammer the significance of it a home, but Cage has a history with this medium and it isn't ALWAYS glowing), and it illustrates those branching outcomes for you in a way that you can pick up on alternative paths at a glance. It really compels you to jump back in and see what you could do differently, I must have played 10+ times, just to see how different dialogue or interactions would affect my ending. It felt like a tight loop with the endings, there are several and the variance between them is quite interesting in terms of its implications for the actual game, but I felt like certain decisions should have had bigger implications or consequences. I'll be really interested to see if this sequence is in the finished release, or if it has always been intended as a promotional offering.
I hope this was relatively spoiler-free! I really want to discuss this because I'm hugely looking forward to the game!
