For this week's Demo Play Thursday i played the #NintendoSwitch version of Discounty from Crinkle Cut Games.
I didn't know much about this game beyond the shop aspect when i started. i have since learned that the developers are based in Denmark, so the location the game's set in makes more sense and makes it more believable. tho i imagine some of the story stuff may not be real life events, this demo does tease them and introduce them in such a way that by the end i wanted to know more about some of the personal history between characters and what was up in the cordoned-off area.
Whilst that side of the story worked, the story of the shop got me completely confused. was this the one and only shop that had been there for years, was this a brand new one that was opening, was this one that had been open for a little while but was being renewed...i honestly can't say. i feel like the story gave an answer for each in this demo.
That wasn't the only thing rough with this demo. when i returned to the port, so my second time there, the game had some very noticeable graphical bugs to the point where i was concerned that the demo itself would crash.
Other than the bugs, i thought the world looked nice. the graphics and the music worked well together to create a pleasant relaxing time during this demo. there is a time mechanic and whilst i was aware and observant of it, i never really felt the pressure of it. i felt like there was time before work and after work.
Working the shop was easy in this demo. i can imagine how it'd get more difficult later, but for now using the gamepad worked fine. whilst i was playing i thought that using the touch screen would've been faster, like when typing on the PS Vita screen in Crazy Market.
