FAQ

What did the developer say about the old version?
In the itch discussion, the developer explains that the earlier release was a complete prototype made under a game-jam deadline. The later demo was only a short introductory slice of the new edition. That distinction explains why someone who played the prototype might see an apparently shorter demo without the final game losing its planned content.
What does the Steam edition add?
The launch announcement says the Steam edition contains new material that adds to the story and quality-of-life improvements. It encourages previous itch players to try it. Those statements justify using current-release references, but they do not establish a complete item-by-item changelog or guarantee that an old hidden-item route is unchanged.

Which language and length claims should you avoid mixing?

The itch page lists English and Italian and an approximate half-hour session for that older release. The Steam support listing has a broader interface-language table. Do not turn the prototype’s session estimate into the Steam completion time, or use the older language list to dismiss an option present in the current store.
