Interesting Format of VN, and the Arts are good.
How big is the game? What's the average playtime?

Is this game now complete or just a demo?
Because title says Demo, but dev notes say game is complete.
The game itself is complete. But the dev will only put its demo here, They sell the complete version for $7.
Not sure what will happen if someone is willing to share it.

Look, one playthrough is not very long. It will probably take about 3 hours.

The game is designed to be replayed (there are 24 endings). Based on Stim stats, people spend between 7 and 12 hours playing it.

Well and take into account that there is 18+ content, but it's not an eroge or dating simulator. So the game is story orientated

It's just gonna be really sad. The developer is poor as it is (

IMO you probably should put these somewhere in your description.
It helps people (who's on the fence) to decide whether to buy.
"24 endings" is not a good indicator, depends on how repetitive they are. In fact, it's often view as a "Deceiving attempt" to mask how little contents there are.
While $7 price tag is good for a 7-12 hours' VN.

Of course, among these 24 endings there are also endings-variations, and quite different endings (you can see it from the Achievements in Steam, for example).

Once again: a single playthrough is likely to be short (there are story forks that allow you to finish the game very quickly) and will probably take about 3 hours (maybe longer, maybe less), but the game assumes that you will only see a small part of the content in one playthrough. "Time of Pariah" is essentially a CYOA.

But I'll emphasise again, lest you think I've misled you: a single playthrough will most likely NOT take you 7 hours.

The goal was to try to make a text-based role-playing game where you can play both the role of a scumbag, the role of a hero, and the role of just a mercenary who wants to survive. So I wasn't working in length, I was working in breadth.

I understand what you're saying about "attempt", but I have nothing to back you up here. If you play on Steam, you can always return the game if you think there isn't enough content. I'd show a plot diagram, but honestly I really don't feel like making excuses. You can check out a past game on Savvarah's world as an example of variant playthrough, though there are fewer forks than this project: .

It's sfw (no sex or romance there), free and unfinished (and frozen)

I hope I've made my point/position clear

Not sure why you are so defensive.
The "Deceiving attempt" is not an accusation to your game, I just pointed out how Hollow "24 endings" means.
I also wasn't questioning your pricing. It's reasonable, you don't need to go extra mile try to justify it.
But VN / CYOA players have a general sense of what these numbers indicates.
It should be better to put your answer to my question earlier and this one somewhere in your game page, to give people a better idea what they are paying for.

But it's just some "customer friendly" move, if you don't feel like it, that's fine.
Furry porn game is normally an instant buy for many.

I'm not really a furry enthusiast, but I can see some quality and a nice story, I'll probably wait until someone posts the full version here, and if I like were the story goes I'll probably buy it on steam (like I did with most 18+ games I own on steam).
I already saw that the dev has 2 other games coming next year, with the same name. If things go well he may become one of those devs I buy all collection just to support.

Btw, here's some important questions that may decide my future actions.
- Does this game have sex animations or only static images?
- If only static images, will the other images be like the ones on the demo (with no sexual angle, you can't see the genitals)?
- Will the next 2 games also have 18+ content?

The tutorial came Twice after i go to the old guy, So first after finishing the dialogue with the first character, I continued the dialogue with his female friend (forgot her name), after that if you talk to her long enough then a old guy character (forgot his name too) appears on the map, after talking to him the tutorial menu reappears and resets my progress.

I'm an old weathered pirate. I have learned during my life that Sturgeons law is spot on about everything, even with porn.
I downloaded the demo for this game few days ago because art on it looked really classy, but I'm really wary of furry games because 90% of them are gay and from remaining 10% most are still trying to pretend being no homo while taking a dick in the ass or fucking beings with dicks.

Finally got around testing this and my first reaction was: Oh my, a game for a more civilized age. Porn made by civilized beings just hits differently. Bought it through itch.io once I realized they're actually trying to sell an unicorn, as in actually COMPLETE furry game with hetero sex.

It's like a nineties text adventure before merchants fucked up games. Music, drawn art and writing just seethes quality, my only complaints are that sex scenes could be longer and more wordy and translation needs a lil bit polishing. Good example of well done erotic scenes in serious game is Price for freedom: avarice, but please don't copy their development hell.

Please support them if this tickles your tackle.

Not into furry, but the art looks amazing.
I would love to see this art in a proper not furry, not text only game to appeal for the great audience.
