Bill Harper = horred the plague.I really gave it my all people, tried my best to keep this promise we made to you and keep this deadline. Missed by a few hours, I think. I've got nothing left to give for the minute, it's all been given to this noble effort. And I'm far beyond exhausted from it. But despite all that, I'm still very happy (and relieved) that we'll get to share the fruit of our long labors with all of you, and soon.
We really hope you enjoy what you you experience. We hope this demo is at least worth some of the long wait. We are certainly proud of what we've got to offer you.
Rest assured, after a much-needed modders' vacation, there is plenty more coming from us at Rogue Dao! Who knows---maybe you'll come and join us this time.
Now pike off, ye barmy spire climbers!
And let the games begin!

Now, onto actual links and information!

Want to download the demo? You can either follow the instructions here (and download the music from here) or you can download the torrent (legit, by Rogue Dao Studios) here (direct link).
So far the basic impressions I've received from reading feedback is that the atmosphere is top notch; completely original music (which is utterly awesome, and you should download and convert to mp3 even if you don't want to play the module), beautiful areas and great art direction, but the gameplay and RPG elements aren't quite there yet--and there are a number of bugs.
I'm downloading this version to check it out at some point over the next few weeks and if I have time will post my impressions, if people would like to hear them. In the meantime if you're of a mind, go check it out yourself!
