While 5 minutes are not much, it's still enough to know how well the game runs on your PC and see what's it about since it shows the main elements of the game (Soft horror in first person perspective and then an arcade part in which you'll unlock memories).
I think including a demo, even a short one (since it's a short game to begin with) is very important, as it shows much more than screenshots or video could (also those kinda end up looking weird for some reason, so it's even more true in this case).
Lastly, since it shows all the main elements in a packed 5-minutes experience, you can more easily judge the game and give your feedback if you wish to help me.
So what's the objective of the game, anyway?
If you read the previous news you probably got the idea already, but in short:
You wake up in what seems to be a bus, your memories are not so clear but as you explore the bus for a way out you'll find memory shards which will unlock Mini-games which, once won, will unlock a memory (and also save the game, automatically).
You should also know that the game contains no installer, in future I may also include a version with an installer but as for now, you can execute and play just after unzipping.
Together with the game, there are two text files (Readme and Controls), the readme contains useful information you should probably read while controls may contain stuff you already know since the controls are few and kinda common (W,A,S,D to move, mouse x,y for the camera, etc).
Also...
Some people weren't so sure at which point the demo ended at the beginning, the game will tell you when it ends and once you end it, you'll go back to the main menu where you'll be able to view the trivia and memories unlocked or just quit the game.
