Dormiveglia - SAGE 2020 Demo [OUTDATED]

I gawked at this on my stream.

All I can really say is "wow." It's been ages since I've seen a game this polished and bombastic, and it left me wanting more.

Although most of the graphics looked like they needed one more shade of color to properly pop, this was otherwise a very solid demo. I got heavy early-game Shantae vibes, but the hook swinging served to differentiate this, and the everpresent hot air balloons were a great way to distinguish this town from any number of other video game towns. Probably the best visual touch, though, was the gears in the clocktower... it would have been so easy for everything to rotate smoothly all the time, and nobody would have minded, but you really went the extra mile by having them bounce around so much. The idea of having twitter handles in the credits was another cool one I'd never seen before, although clicking them didn't seem to do anything when I tried.
