Okay, this took longer than I wished, but I needed a couple of weeks of just painting backgrounds to recover from the burnout that was releasing the 2020 DEMO. After seeing some people struggling to get through the second part of the demo, I thought it would be a good idea to take back the old demo's hint system and adapt it into the new one.

So how does the system work?

I dont like boring hint systems that outright tell what the solution is, so this one has little tweak: If you choose to enable the HINTS in the menu, youll find a very special item in your inventory: An overpowered Fortune Cookie (1st half of the demo) or a Hint Phone (2nd Half). ___ Every time you use the Hint Cookie, a clue in the form of a vague cryptic prediction will appear inside.
Every time you use the Hint Phone, you'll make a call to your mysterious partner. He'll tell you about his whereabouts and what he's up to while he waits for you which are of course subtle hints about what you should do to solve a puzzle.

(So yeah youll have to use you brain in order to advance anyway!) If you have many fronts open, its possible that the same hint will be repeated once or twice. If that happens, just keep insisting until you see a different one. But please try to play without hints unless you get too stuck, okay? Thats kind of the fun. Also thanks for playing! ___ PS - Oh, and here are a couple of the new backgrounds in case someone cares about this kind of stuff: (Click to expand)
