Project Beril Demo "Clear"
A strange new game demo from Seiwell, author of the famous games Barrage Musical and Touhou Fantasia, and alumnus of the team behind Shining Shooting Star and Abyss Soul Lotus.
This is basically a mouse-controlled "STG", if you can even call it that. The player uses clicking to direct the AI towards a spot, and the AI handles the micrododging needed to get there. Thus, the player focuses more on macro movements and routing. I think this could be a nice game for beginner STG players to learn about routing, but otherwise I don't really buy the gameplay. I feel like I would've had more fun dodging with a normal keyboard in a traditional STG.
Apparently in the full release, there will be a way to upgrade your ship/AI and customize its attributes. No release date is given, though.
