Haunted House Renovator

all right all right all right this is Chris owski with how tomarket a game.com this is my summer sale I'm doing this just this week it ends on July 1st July 1st it's over up to then it's in action selling some big stuff uh how to Market a game total blowout sale we got the bundles we got wishless master class we got the funding now this game marketing ideas I'm doing something special to celebrate this game marketing ideas which is like 75% off but even more I I can't do the math right quick what I'm doing is I'm doing a special Showcase of demos because everybody always ask me how long should my demo be what should I put in my demo what should I leave out of my demo I don't want to give away my game so I am covering demos from Steam nextfest and today I am playing Haunted House renovator a playway demo in nextfest it was one of the top most played demos during steam nextfest if you have never played a playway game you are in for a treat these games are awesomely awesome okay

so one of the things I love about playway little there's some things I most things I don't like about playway they they're a little gray Market they're a little bit gray in the market uh but one of the cool things is this okay so when you start any playway game they have this thing called a launcher and you can see it says playway up here and it's a launcher and this is the demo for haunted house renovator but I think this is all dynamicly done in code all their old games are sh and you can just do this and click it and they bring up the other game to like cross sell you this is so smart everybody who releases more than one game should add their game to a launcher like when you start the game the new game or the old game it should tell you about the old games because you're cross selling to your old audience because not everybody follows all the news so they don't know so every time they play your game they're like oh they've got a new game out everybody should be doing this I love playway for doing this this is awesome just want to start there the other thing that's awesome when you start it just says add

to wish list they have the call to action right when you start the game this is awesome okay so I'm just going to go straight in and play the game now this game is long and it is a simulator I'm going to walk you through it so we got this blah blah blah video entry for the studio who made it I'm going to see if I can skip through this can I skip through this not that I have seen I'm trying to figure out I think you just have to okay so here's a playway game now if you don't know um playway puts out a lot of games if you look across Publishers who has the most wish list if you just summed up all the wish list across Publishers play weight has like four times as many wish lists as the nearest next game which I think is like Paradox or something next company playway knows steam they work it they work the system and I think Indie should follow the parts that aren't Sleazy and work the system now one thing I like about this look at this title page they just do the minimum amount to get the game game out they don't over embellish

they don't spend too long on games they don't overwork the games look at this title screen little bit of a low resolution image here on the haunted house doesn't matter they probably got it from a stock site that's not a I'm not making fun of them I think it's awesome you a lot of Indies are over making their games they're making their games too much too big it it's taking too long and they don't make enough money Play We knows okay so just looking at their title screen what do they have feedback sh share your feedback I love that let's see what happens when you click it it just goes straight to a um Google form it's good did you like the experience yes Y no did you reach the end uh what was the to tutal intuitive I always like to look at these surveys because I want to find out good questions for surveys so this is a good question please mark everything you discovered interacted with I love this like did you get the rat did you get the bat did you move the painting haunted mirror haunted piano haunted Kettle M I just love that that's I love this survey okay and what did you like most about the demo what did you not like this is

an early preview of The Game and everything is subject changed do you have any suggestions what do you want to see in the game I this a great survey short questions see I know play with sleazy in a lot of ways but this is good stuff not everything they do is sleazy this is a good form anyway steal that just take it take what they did there that's why I record these videos so that you can learn how to make your surveys you have a separate bug report what does this pull up when I click bug report it is a form for Google Google just Google form let's see what it says email short description of bug can you reproduce this bug what the what how much of the bug interfere with the demo please provide some system specs how can we reproduce the bug step by step in bold because it's so hard to get people to say that to write the steps down if possible add a link to your screenshot or video where you see the bug um if you got a C crash look at this this is good if you're wondering how to do a bug report just steal this form you can just steal this form okay so let's go back game news let's see what happens when you click game news

oh just goes to your steam page all right nothing too exciting there just that community links let's see what this does it's it's just their Discord it's just their Discord so Comedia links pulls up the Discord again copy this stuff the reason I know this seems boring I'm speaking to developers and you developers need to make awesome main Pages like your your entry page this is marketing okay hooking up the right stuff this is what you need do so options typical option stuff nothing too crazy gameplay controls playway know you always have to do customized controls every Indie skips this so many Indies skip this they think oh who needs custom controls playway knows you got to have custom controls and then these things all these things yes playway knows playway has been around the block they do the absolute minimum that you do so if playway is doing something you know that is a minimum thing so they did controls then then you've got to be

customized controls because look at this that's what I always say like look at this background image it's not even a full resolution image it's got all these artifacts playway knows most people don't care about the background image on the title screen so they don't do a high resolution very expensive one they probably get this off a stock site again I'm not making fun of them I respect playway but know what you need to spend a lot of money on and what you don't and playway spends money on widgets that report their other games cross cell they do a lot of surveys this is smart stuff that's why I play playway games okay let's play the demo let's just get started here okay notice it's just text it's not a whole intro that's very expensive and timec consuming it's just text it says thank you for trying out the early demo everything is subject to change you can use share your feedback and bug report buttons and share your ideas with us the full game will have a progression system upgrade mechanics pets and more locations we will also add more polish improve optimization and fix any bugs if you have any questions feel free to join the Discord and server chat uh and chat with us okay here's what I like about

this full game this is the big question everybody has how do I show enough without giving away too much and how do I restrict the demo without people thinking my game sucks so this is one way you just message it now you have to do everything you have to message everything you can't just you can't just do this one time so one of the ways they supporting is telling you what's not in the demo and what will be do it but notice not everybody's going to read all this text especially the third paragraph the third paragraph tells you within the game but that's fine do it here but I'm also when I'm playing the demo going to look for if there's any ways that they hint about this progression system the upgrade mechanics the pets and the locations okay because you need to tell them what is not in the demo yet or what's not in the full game that they're missing out on because you always want them to feel like hey I haven't played everything all right again I love play with because they do the absolute minimum they could have done this voice acted full motion video but they didn't they just did this piece of paper from your loving Grandpa it's always Grandpa you stuff

time has come for you to live up to your legacy fear not for I will Aid you you must recover my tools underlined I left them in an old slightly haunted apartment slightly the address is attached to this letter after Decades of use my tools are almost as haunted as the ghosts of the houses I worked in but that's a good thing they'll make your job easier take the contract to renovate the apartment you can learn how to use my tools while making a heap of do by fulfilling the contract I like how Grandpa uses the sling term do I would think that he'd call them like a thick Penny Mister like he's a he's he's an old grandpa so he should use some old colloquialism again most of the stuff you see in playway makes absolute no sense consider consider this a test and earn as much money as possible eternally yours your loving Grandpa all right let's take a look oh Grandpa's also very sloppy look he spilled some coffee on there or something so here we are this is playway haunted renovator haunted mansion renovator we got rats running around we got this thing just shooting out music

okay now full disclosure I've played this and I've just because there's some stuff that is kind of puzzle stuff and I don't want to let you sit there watching the puzzle stuff so here's I'm going to go through this real quick and tell you the top so if you never played a playway game playway games are all about just like building and renovating and setting stuff up to make it look better that's most of playway games okay the renovator series The Three games I bet they all use the same engine so you're going to see we're going to do this okay so first thing we got to turn on the power now you'll notice when we interact with this light puzzling elements whoops interact we got to turn off the power we got to then get back in here unscrew this unscrew this look at this we're going to we we got to power the hallway in the living room so I'm going to take this one

out and going to put this one back in going to take this one out and I'm going to put this one back in in just one minute all right let's do this let's turn the lights back on and we're going to pull back and enjoy this haunted house now with lights all right so the power is there so let's hit the switch lights on let's find the living room lights see some arrows here playway is not subtle they're like I here's what I love about playway is again they just do the most basic things they don't care if it makes sense they're just focusing on what is good like what is actual gameplay so they just have silly arrows notice they didn't spend a lot of time animating a a blanket falling down and stuff like that it just dissolves they just add like a little dissolve effect to it that's it here it is

this they did decide to animate that opening the crate good for them and then objects just fly out like Indies would spend like two months trying to animate that playway is like no you don't need to do that okay now in the top left you'll notice that there is a um [Music] a you'll notice that there is a um in the top left you'll notice that there is a um checklist okay for some reason there's a rat that doesn't have any hair on its butt I again I don't ask questions with playway games I just kind of go for them all right so here's what we got um we got this is again playway just like I'm sure they just found this off the asset store like some trash cans with the recycling icons it makes no sense why his Grandpa would have like this elaborately laid out thing but it works uh look at this little Goblin just dancing they have a dancing Goblin that just runs around like like this makes

absolutely no sense and I love it I love it I love it this is video games look that thing is just carrying around stuff what is going on there's just gold it's just carrying gold let's try I don't know how to stop it let's see I think if I take a picture of it I I looked ahead I could take pictures of things and I get ghost pictures see Gremlin placing Treasures in one room next to each other with a me with a total value exceeding the value of the treasure protected by the gremlin hitting the gremlin with a net launcher trapping it all right so that's what we're going to do why is that Gremlin have a tiara I have no idea again this makes no sense and there's a spinning ghost it looks like it's just some sort of bug each um this this one has we've got to find her um missing item it just makes no sense and but what we're going to do is see how the checklist we need to equip the brush so let's do it this is the tutorial um I think the brush this we use the brush to clean off furniture so we go over here and we clean let's see interact with

this clean that off it just disappears makes no sense look this this furniture is all dirty so we click the right look at it they just I love it I love it they just click the thing these games by the way don't worry I'm sure the owners never knew it okay there's treasure collect this stuff um now this Goblin just ran off with my treasure look at that I just I love this game look at that she's just dancing there's just a dancing Goblin for no reason um and you just go and you clean stuff remove stains from the floor and walls we use the tool that's number three and we just clean up this thing it's just like a texture they didn't go too far they didn't all they did was just make you animate the the thing it just it's so great here's some more of this broken texture we're just cleaning this stuff okay so equip telekinesis which I think is one I think that's telekinesis stop the moving statue

that's the next step in there see how stop moving statue we need to find her item and so what we do is her item is back in here we clean up that garbage oh here's another ghost let me take a picture of it let me take a picture of this ghost you got to take pictures of all the ghosts let me just keep going here let me clean off this stuff you can still clean while you got the camera I'm just getting ready for this ghost here pick up the garbage I think the ghost is coming there he is got him um hitting a Sprite with water grenade okay see This Is How They mention stuff that's not here this texture that just says coming soon so they didn't even implement the multiple ways to remove this ghost so we're just the only way is to hit it with a water grenade the other way is driving a Sprite into a decorative uh I think that says braier so that's how you would normally do it I love it I love it

okay so we got that picture um remove the camera so here's the harp I think we use telekinesis to pick it up I love how Grandpa has magic telekinesis gloves that this is Grandpa's old tools old time Grandpa you know grandpa with his telekinesis gloves look at how high tech it doesn't make any sense and bl is like it's just more fun if you just pick up objects using your magic thing it's much less fun if you have to go over and pick it up it's better if you could just push a button and it's apps to your hand so they're like whatever grandpa had telekinesis gloves I love it I love everything about playway except they are kind of harsh to their devs I don't like that but the amount of uh shortcuts they take is just it's kind of a test of how much needs to be done if if the game is the general aspect of the game is fun play is like it we'll just do it okay and that's where we are so in the fun part of this game and I'm I know I'm saying a it sounds like I'm making fun of a of playway the fun part of the game

and why I think these games are so popular is you start with something really bad looking right this room is looks awful but as you do all this stuff it looks cleaner and cleaner and it looks nicer and nicer and you feel accomplished you really do and that's video games like life is hard it's really hard to get stuff accomplished I know I it takes me forever to get stuff accomplished look at this little fuse box look at that a little fuse let's collect that garbage let me go back over here it's really hard to get stuff done um but video games makes it easy to get stuff done and it makes you feel good for it and that's what okay so the the controls aren't always inuitive I get it okay so how do I get to my inventory to get that fuse maybe I just click it there we go bathroom actually I want to put it in yeah let's do it let's turn power back on we'll just do the bathroom as you get these fuses you just get them working so um and that's how playway

games are and a lot of there's a whole genre of games I often write about them they're these kind of room decorators like uh Loi beats Spirit city was one um all these kind of games where you decorate room um you know uh what's it called uh the big one the big indie game um it's called um why can't I I remember it's the it's the Tidy one unpacking unpacking is it you start with boxes and by the end of it you end up with a beautiful like room and that's what this game fulfills that same fantasy what is this Goblin doing okay I'm just going to let princess over there do her thing because I know later you're going to get some stuff so there's paper here and that's what this game's all about and they can they they remove everything that is not cleaning and organizing a room and so you kind of learn by playing these games like what is the minimum thing necessary to accomplish the gameplay which is clean stuff up make

your room look good look at that why does that rat not have a butt like what I don't get it I bet it was like a zombie asset pack that they bought a zombie rat asset pack and um I said asset pack but I said rat asset pack um anyway and that's that they they probably was like why doesn't it have skin I don't care let's just ship it and that's that's what's necessary that's how you get stuff done that's how playway is the most profitable like game company there is cuz they're like it doesn't matter it doesn't affect the gameplay so what if it has a bear ass I don't care ship it okay so we're cleaning wait did this room so each room has a separate thing oh clean dirty Furniture so there's still dirty Furniture to clean let's see if we can find it oh that that Bureau needs to be cleaned let's clean this Bureau

okay I feel like we got one more piece of dirty Furniture somewhere around here let me see check these chairs almost done almost done almost done it's kind tell which piece of furniture is actually dirty oh that must be it okay clean the living room is clean so we've got to clean every room that's all this game is now unless I see something fascinating I'm going to fast forward right here and we're going to cut through the to to the good parts so you see how the contract value has gone up that's the kind of underlying mechanic so there's the cleanup and then there's also the money mechanic look at that I love it I could still I'm cleaning and it's still in my hand but it's also showing the animation of cleaning it they're just like you don't need to spend a lot of time animating for each type of tool for each type of thing we just need need one animation of this brush just going crazy

around this thing okay we still got to clean the garbage in here let's see oh we got that on the wall they like it's easier if you use the telekinetic glove rather than attaching a hand to the thing it just it just doesn't clip so let's just do it pretend that this brush is powered by telekinesis it doesn't matter that's like I love playway and again these games are amazingly popular this game these games get so many sales it's ridiculous this game has so many it's one of the top 50 most played uh demos during steam nextfest it just is move the earn from the living room to the office okay where's the living [Music] room and we got a goblin that steals that treasure look at that it just it just makes no sense okay here's the ear oh did you see that ghost equip the H hammocks okay so all

of a sudden by touching that n now I have an axe why it doesn't make sense it just it doesn't break into the bathroom with The Hammocks okay I think this is the bathroom here it just doesn't make a lick of sense and there's a ghost here now so I'm going to take a picture of him did you see that how I could take the picture while it's still coming up okay um purchase blank canvases from the shop and lead them to the wall That's the coming soon that doesn't work chase the spirit into a special land Lantern to trap it inside make sure the Trap is armed or will not work okay here's another thing I could see where the nice way of trapping the ghost would have taken a lot of work playway didn't have time they need to get the demo out and ready time for next Fest so that just like there put up a sign that said coming soon very smart you could just do it and say it's just not in the demo we're just taking it out you need to get your demos out and this is a great way to do it you got to do the minimum there so I'm just breaking into this bathroom here oh boy I did the B the bedroom let's crack through this thing

you just break through okay here's the bathroom okay wait let me do this turn on the lights cuz I remember I did do that mini frame some hauntings want you to play a game or solve a riddle interact with a haunted object by pointing at it when pressing a solve these riddles not only increases the contract value but it may also reveal Hidden Treasures [Music] great for some reason it won't let me close this again the menus aren't always working just play away invisible ghost trap this item can be used trap invisible ghost first use by oppon okay so basically we use this let me pick this up let me use telekinesis um one grab object whoops we got this thing we're going to use it to trap this ghost that's out here in the living room okay here it is there's that invisible ghost I just did it just suck that ghost up in that trap it's all done can I set soak this ghost no that one I have to throw a water bombb okay

and now I have a ghost trapped I did it I think I equipped the Trap toolbox solve the mirror riddle okay I'm just going to put this like right here maybe good enough okay let's solve this mirror riddle this mirror wants you to find PES of symbols you have a moment to memorize as many symbols as possible right before they hidden play right trigger on the H I think it's a matching game okay okay I think this was it right yeah no wait was this one yes did it and again that puzzle is not that's like that matching game it's not that clever of a puzzle it's the most basic puzzle but it does something like

that's it that's I love playway I love them I'm not making fun of them I love everything about them again this is just what it takes this is this is how you um this is how you do it this is how you make games this is actually how you make games okay so I got to trap this rat there's a rat going around this is the Trap box for the rat I got to trap it's one of the check boox items where's that rat that doesn't have hair on his ass where are you little rat okay I'm going to arm this oh here he is there he is okay come here rat come here rat got that rat I just got him that's it that's what I did equip the toolbox eight toolbox use the toolbox to repair any object repairing is free with the toolbox equipped damage hit the H okay edit the floor and tiles great okay we're going to repair some of this stuff so repair um and rob a safe you can't

really rob a safe if it's your grandpa's house and you're just here for your grandpa so play with it just doesn't make sense like none of this stuff makes sense but it's just like it doesn't matter the thing people want to do is just clean up a house and whatever they just remove any obstacle in the design so that you can clean the house in the most efficient way okay that's what they're doing I love it this is there's so much stuff that Indies spend time on that it just doesn't matter and playway has gotten this down to a science that's why I respect them in some ways they are they do a lot of shady things in other ways okay so don't follow everything just follow the like this cuz I want Indies to be making a lot of cool games and focus on the stuff that matters not the stuff that doesn't I'm just that's not how you use wrench it just it just showed a wrench like biting the floor watch this like that's not how you use wrench you don't even need a wrench to fix a floor it's like playway didn't even analyze

what you need to do to fix a floor they're just like just I don't know put the animation of the wrench making a a biting motion that's all that's all that matters okay repair and Rod the safe we're just going to we're going to wrench this little floor out I love it this is so great again everybody should be playing playway games I'm not saying you steal everything from them but I don't know I think they could learn we could learn a lot from playway and that's what I respect about them it's just like everything that is not in favor of gameplay everything that doesn't directly improve gameplay they're just like it just don't don't even bother don't even worry about it but it the important thing is the game is fun and this is fun like I'm taking a game that is I'm taking a room that looked awful and I'm I'm fixing it this is cool like this is the fun part there's ghosts

it doesn't make sense I'm removing rats like that is awesome like this is very satisfying just to click every single square and then make it cleaner that is so satisfying and this is just so satisfying it really is I'm telling you folks this is good do I really need the wrench to be animated correctly do I care that you don't need a wrench when you're fixing paret flooring or use a little pliers it's the pliers I meant if I was saying wrench I me I really I know what Pliers are and I really meant pliers but again who cares does anybody really care that it's using pliers in the animation nobody cares I'm just I just really want to catch this Goblin did I get him yes collected got that Goblin okay I just got $130

that that whole Treasure Chest full of gold was worth $130 it makes no sense folks this these games make no sense but they still are fun it is still fun they didn't like hire any ecomist to figure out how much gold treasure chest they're just like the goblin car the goblin wearing a princess outfit is carrying a treasure chest and that treasure chest is worth 130 bucks deal with it we can't get an asset that's smaller or looks less elaborate it sure yes it's a pirate treasure map looking thing I don't care ship it let's go it's more fun if it just looks like a giant pile of gold who cares if it's 130 bucks and it makes no sense just ship it we've got to make the one of the top 50 games people let's ship it just it doesn't matter okay we have to make one of the top 50 games on Steam it is time we got to ship this we don't have time to determine the economics of a treasure chest full of pirate gold we don't have that time it is just time to get this game out we got a Ouija

board um goodbye yeah okay awesome makes no sense why this room is's like a seance room with a gold mask let's see here perfect okay let's clean this up this looks like every theater girl's room this doesn't even look haunted this just looks like some girl that's really into the theater that's her bedroom good okay repair and Rob the safe they really want me to Rob this safe I again it makes why would I rob a safe and I like how the tutorial is just spoiling it I haven't seen the safe and yet it's saying like yeah you got to r that thing oh there's one there it is there it is okay clean this thing too um okay the bathroom's on let me go plug this fuse into the last room um they're like we don't care if our tutorial spoils the game there's a safe hidden somewhere in here but you got to rob it and it's like again Rob is the wrong word I'm I I own

this house it's not robbing if I'm going to get Grandpa's stuff and I like how there's no morals it's just like you're just going to rob it okay let's see see if we can put this turn this off ah okay Switching to Mouse mode turn off now notice playway does have a nice smooth this is something you should do again if playway does it you should do it see how I can use the mouse and then now I'm using the controller I can swap effortlessly effortlessly between the two and it automatically changes notice that icons that's very important for steam you should definitely do that make sure you get that right again if playway does it you should definitely make sure you get that right okay all right let's repair and Rob the save it really wants me to repair that safe so let's go see if we can find it I think it's here in the bedroom again why is the pictures just like some Renaissance paintings over here is's that treasure just treasure 130 full of pirate gold it's just 130 oh man we are going to clean

this is it a three maybe four maybe we we repair it first eight eight is a Repair Box yeah we're going to fix that toilet even though you don't need pliers to fix a toilet you really don't they don't care toilet paper held in the correct resting position with the flap on the top that's how you do it if playway does it you know that's the correct way to do it and that's what's important okay scissors on this little serving tray doesn't make any sense doesn't make sense at all but playway does it okay let's see what can we repair here anything else o you can just replace it I kind of like the tile I don't want to replace this nice tile floor let's see got to fix that can we repair the wall can't repair that wall for some reason okay I'm still trying to catch

the bat I haven't even seen a bat like oh there he is there he is there he is I bet I have to catch him with the dart gun ready all right all right all right there's no animation to show reload I just can't fire too fast got him got him there you are a little bat poor bat all right we got that got the bat repair and Rob the safe I'm really looking for the safe let's find it let's see open I'm going to go back to four this one I can't let's see if I can chop this one down get out of here okay fire monster I have to find the water grenade still trying to find the I think I think I got the switch for this room I think I did let's see is this one working now no Seance

room no there's got to be a safe in here this looks like where I'd put a safe that thing's too dangerous I am not going to destroy it that's not on there safe safe okay let's repair it eight fixing it get the little plier to little plier just Jam the screwdriver in there interact okay now you have access to all the tools I can use the shop this is now a super playway game where there's shops and you can buy upgrades and you upgrade stuff and you customize it um this this is playway now we're serious playway okay so again what do you need in your demo you need to show the basic gameplay Loop which is clean stuff upth is a strong spirit in the location if it's Unique it is unique and will chase you anger it if it catches you you will be possessed use the camera

to take a picture and figure out how to banish it okay is that a wraith That's The Wraith did I get it oh that's kind of creepy that is creepy oh man I got to take a picture of all this stuff a photo of all the prominent members of a secret side back when they were still alive an old newspaper the famous aners he will train you to fight the RS using himself as an example but it won't go easy on walk too close and he will try to possess you photograph five objects described on this page to learn the ritual that will banish the ghost okay okay I need the family tree old newspaper okay I saw the necrom monicon okay let me go get it see that it is nesting depth here like you're renovating but you're also solving a mystery with these little puzzles there's I got to give it to them there's a lot of depth in this game I hope I got that ghost too yeah doesn't

paper who did you see that that was that was some haunted house ghost Disneyland look at that it goes bad lightning strikes the picture that is cool that's that is video games right there that is so cool it's like haunted house that's that is fun that's that's Disneyland haunted house is that a boaro painting there's that guy okay just going to get another picture of him just to just to make sure I'm just not trying to get possessed here he's going into the theater girl room I got to get a sneak a picture in there I think there's a robe in there I'm not trying to get close just trying to Pi take a picture of the purple robe whoa whoa whoa don't get close this see look at this emerging gameplay also have to I have to time his cycle his Run Cycle with me got possessed the Wrath catch you in possess while in the state your body will make a huge mess around the house snap out of it press the a button when when the shear is in the same voice spot

as the r you'll need to do this twice okay let's do it um unfortunately the um the weird thing is I can't confir it's possessed me so much that I can't even confirm this that's how possessed I am let's see I'm just just clicking around I think I found one of the bugs I'm going to have to leave a bug report I can't close this dialogue it's there see the problem is their their bug is their UI you have to move the cursor over the menu to close it but they've also hidden my cursor so I don't know where my cursor is so my cursor is floating out somewhere and I can't move it to click it on the dialogue so I'm trying to move it onto the dialogue doing this for about an hour I'm going to call it here so when you start redecorating so you also unlock that

redecoration and because I played this before and so you can redecorate you can choose your wallpapers you choose your flooring this is what steam likes the custom building thing and so that is the full game so if I were to do an evaluation of what is in the demo and what's not you can do all the mechanics you can clean up a room you can bust ghosts you can solve some puzzles you can solve there's a little bit of story in there you can collect some treasure you use all the tools now some of the advanced tools like the second form you'll notice when you tried to bust some ghost are like this feat you can bust the ghost this way or this way only one of them was supported so it wasn't fully there um and I didn't get to show it because I didn't get that far but I can buy from the store different fabrics and stuff so I can redecorate a room in the demo I tried it you can do that so my thought is it's a very kind of horizontal slice I can do a little of everything but they only gave me one house and it's

about five or six rooms and that is it now according to the game to the thing the description in the future I'll be able to do a few more things and there will be more houses to redo so that is the dep so it's showing me they went laterally you can do a little bit of everything but you only get one house in the future I would assume in the full version of the game you can do multiple houses and you do all those things and there might be a little bit more hor Al so it went horizontal but not all the way horizontal and they didn't go very deep just like one level so um in our quest of figuring out how steam demos work that is how you do a simulation game I think playway is very smart they've done this before they have so many games they have so many wish lists I really like to follow this model so this is a good model for um Steam and doing demos um let's see I'm going to try one more time no I can't close it so again the reason I'm doing this is because I am running a sale on all my courses which I've linked below and in

particular I'm doing these demo playthroughs to show people what needs to go in a demo and what doesn't need to be in a demo okay and that is what it is and so um if you want to watch others cuz there are ones that I have not released on YouTube there are secret ones and the only way to get to the secret ones is to solve a mystery no you just have to pay money um it's in my premium course which is um game Market marketing ideas I record these I've done a bunch of other games that I've not uploaded to YouTube um for every one that I upload to Youtube I also upload one to this site where it's it's looking at the demo and again I'm trying to answer the question what is in the demo what isn't and what are the calls to action that you need to add to your demo to make it function all right and that's what I'm doing thank you for watching and have a good day
