Hey there, indieDB Community!
We are the Brainless Bunch, a Portuguese game developer team.
Welcome to our third article about the game we are developing, Essence of the Past.
Essence of the Past is a game about a woman going back to her abandoned childhood home, initially with the intent of selling it.
Our game explores the perspective of someone struggling to reconnect with her past and going back in time through memories captured by Polaroids scattered around time and space.
After the radio silence, we left you with, we once again come back to share with you some exciting updates! We're almost at the end of one of our most important progress marks, the pre-production! As such, we shall share with you this small update, and tomorrow we'll come back to share a little about the progress of the last week!
New Image (Logo and Spec-sheet)
The logo you've come to know was a temporary one, so now we finally had to chance to change it to something more permanent, despite it needing some refining. We really want to share it with you despite this so... time for the big reveal!

DEMO release
Now, for another very exciting news: we have finally released our game DEMO! This first version is very rough around the edges, really rough, but we'll have the opportunity to change that during the next stage of development, the production. Still, we'd be glad to have you check it out on itch.io, we've worked hard for the past weeks and this is the final product (for now)!
We'll share with you some of the screenshots of our game but you'll be able to better experience it if you download it, so be our guest!

Thank you so much for checking out this fourth devlog of ours, and for being here with us so far! We're so glad we can achieve such a big milestone and share it with you guys, we hope you stick around to see more of what we have in store (trust us, it isn't small stuff). Tomorrow we'll be releasing another devlog to share with you the news we didn't get to share the last week, both in the fields of art, programming, and design!
