Ran into some Steamworks backend errors that are making the demo not launch. Working on resolving the issue now.

Looking into it now. This may be a problem on Steam's side because the executable is definitely not missing!

A whole new reason to be hyped for Deductopia! There’d be no Trevosa without Marcus, but you may ALSO know Marcus from his guest week (Ch 13) on The Daily Spell! 😁

Marcus designed the fabulously tricky Skate Park scene! It's only available in the full game, coming to Steam October 28!

Can confirm--it's going to become more of a tutorial demo rather than the first three rooms I built. A better experience for new players but it won't have as much content!

A little birdie told me that, when Deductopia releases, the demo is going to get smaller, so if you want to play the rooms Scout Camp and Hill and Dale for free, you'd better do it now: store.steampowered.com/app/4429720/Deductopia/

A really well-dressed man in a purple hat and purple and yellow argyle shirt played the demo for Puzzle Spy International while there’s still a seat available to play the latest Deductopia demo puzzle. @GwenCKatz mans that table.

Call me old-fashioned, but where I come from, it's the author's job to cite his sources. I feel like my college professors would have looked dimly on me if I'd told them "I'd be happy to add a works cited if you make it for me."

Finally had a chance to play the new Deductopia level and this was the trickiest one so far! Very cool. I really recommend this series of browser games if you like deductive mysteries and want to play bite-sized ones. Looking forward to the full game on Steam!!
