  I quit the demo a couple times because my brain got cooked by the mirrors - only listening to this I realized I could go back to the overworld and do other puzzles instead. Thanks! I look so much forward to buying this game on release day

  I&apos;m buying Order of the Sinking Star as a pre-order for a serial key for BlowOS.<br><br>But mostly because Jon&apos;s passion for his craft is infectious and I want to support a man (and his team!) who is trying to make gaming and programming better.

  His pet peeve about most video game voice acting being either cartoon shouty / Saturday morning cartoons or foreign accent slow talking sounding dumb is totally on point. I wish developers more widely shared this view.

  I was gonna just try out the demo for a bit and said to myself that I would leave most of it for release, but I&apos;m sitting at 105 solved...

  I&apos;ll be buying this just to show my support. I&apos;ve gotten so much value from watching his videos/talks that it&apos;s the least I could do.

  No surprise, Jonathan &amp; his team did great job. Not a puzzle fan, but I liked it. Outstanding quality and production value. I&apos;m very interested in what comes after the release - Jai!

  I just love how honest, straightforward and transparent he is about almost everything (except perhaps because there is a publisher this time, he is a bit more careful). I am really rooting for the final stretch to go smoothly after such a monumental, legendary effort, I think it will go down in history books! Thank you for the demo, it&apos;s magical to finally try it (even after seeing dozens of hours of development) and at least there is some material for theory crafting until it finally comes out! Thank you, Thank you! And thank you for the delightful interview (again) Dan Allen!!
