Closed Beta Results & Infographic

Hi Itch.io community! We just ran our first Closed Beta.  If you missed it, you can sign up for the next one at EpiphanyCity.com/demo.

In general, most people enjoyed the puzzles, story, art, dialogue, music, and characters.  Which kinda sounds like everything?  Except there were tons of technical complaints, like the clunky grid-based movement, lack of volume sliders, no "Quit" button on the title screen, etc.  But for now, we are more than happy that we hit all the big stuff we were aiming for, and will continue to work on those smaller technical fixes.

To close this out, I'll leave you all with a quote from an email that really gave me hope and made my day:

David,

I can’t leave a steam review yet, since the prologue isn’t officially out, so I’ll leave what I would have posted in this email for now.

I was initially put off by the simplistic look of the game—how it played, the character designs/art style. I wouldn't have even considered looking more closely at this game if not for knowing who was involved in its creation. However I was genuinely very impressed by the quality of the puzzles. The dialogue is lighthearted and silly but the story looks like it will take its themes a little seriously. The music is beautiful and a joy to listen to. It honestly looks like a wonderful little game. I'm excited to play more when the game fully releases.

If you made it all the way to the end, you're a true fan and our team couldn't be more blessed to have you with us.  I'm glad that this is interesting enough and I'll work hard so that you can enjoy Epiphany City as soon as possible.

Thanks for reading,

- Dave
