The Palace on the Hill Prologue

A nice-relaxing experience. There is four days worth of content in the prologue with some quests and the basic setup. As an Indian, this short prologue was absolutely lovely, it grabs the relaxing theme and the vibes of an old village nicely! (the good ones!) Gave me some good old nostalgia, even some character names are familiar for me and that just makes the game more dear to me. For the gameplay, it was pretty nice, I like the overall idea and can see where this game is going towards. One thing that i think needs to be worked is that it's a bit annoying to walk near and select a crop to water, especially when you have multiple crops planted so close to each other. However, I hope that that's already been noticed and worked upon. The concept of paintings is super cool! It should definitely be expanded upon and the fact that paintings drop the lore bombs is epic. I like the theme of it being minimalistic and having very less handholding but I think there should be a text on your first tea session to inform about Lata sitting there waiting for the tea. The cot's pretty far from the tea shop so that can easily be missed! I LOVE the art! It feels hand-drawn and animated. Very lovely. There's also animations when you work on the pottery table and make yourself a pot! I like the overall art style and animations a lot! Overall, I liked the demo a lot! As I've mentioned there were a few points that I feel should be worked upon but i'm excited for the final release of the game. The prologue is definitely worth playing. For the devs: A really good way to increase your wishlist numbers / community following would be to have some sort of a roadmap and a community server where you can post small updates on the progress of the game. Even little posts and some community interaction will help a ton to help you reach a wider audience.... Especially now since the game is on Steam's summer fest.
