It's a fresh game dev tycoon and it's a fun demo to play. Shows most mechanics naturally. Could do with a bit more interactive tutorial system, but otherwise, it's very good. I like that there's always the option to skip the tutorial prompts. Also, character skills development doesn't have a very obvious impact, but this might be just because it's a demo. Overall 8.2/10
