The Demons Told Me to Make This Game - Demo Deaths
22The various ways I found to get Gum and Tape killed in the demo for The Demons Told Me to Make This Game, where you're playing as a spirit guiding their actions to possibly have them survive and avert apocalyptic rituals or (if you're like me) making them pet demon dogs and get mauled.
It's a pretty neat visual novel where you're trying to guide them through events while using the knowledge you get from unsuccessful attempts or lines of questioning that the other person can make use of. You just rewind as needed to try other things. For choices your host wouldn't normally do you have to play minigames to convince them to take that choice (but failing might open different paths) and once per event you can automatically win a minigame if the difficulty would be too high (or if you just want to skip it on a quick replay).
For the first two deaths these are unavoidable and drive the plot to finish the first event. In the next segment Gum survives without any intervention on your part - her deaths to the demongrels only occur if you pick bad options. Tape, on the other hand, requires you to actively discourage him from approaching the beggar to avoid dying.
There are notable typos that will hopefully be cleaned up. I also don't pick bringing Smiley with you because it causes a white box to cover most of the screen for a while (you still die if you pick that option).
