-Sorrow's Seed is a demo with a lot of potential-
I really enjoyed the first portion of Sorrow's Seed. The beginning area where your character lives is really charming and I especially enjoyed the intro cutscene and all of the monologue. Reading the journal entries scattered around the beautifully designed house was really nice.
However my problems start with the actual meat of this demo. Once you get off the bus at your new job, you notice that it is really, really dark. You get a flashlight with batteries and more batteries strewn about, but you're not told how to reload the flashlight. After my flashlight ran out of batteries I tried all the buttons used so far (I, E, Left-Click, Enter) and nothing worked. I went back after awhile and figured out *space-bar* will use items.
I also felt like the hospital was wayy too big and hard to navigate in the darkness, maybe a mini-map or silent-hill-esque paper-map could help. Overall, a lot of potential and a lot of great aesthetic choices and great writing, but some of the gameplay could use a little more work!
