What version of windows?

I know whats causing it, though I don't know why, guessing you don't have a certain DLL on your machine; however, it's not necessary so I'm removing it and rebuilding the demo, I'll let you know when it's up again.

EDIT:

just changed out the demo, if you'd like please re-download it from www.staticgame.com; if you have any further issues we'd love to hear from you at Raymond@edigames.com so we can resolve all issues.

Just had a quick go of the demo and noticed there seems to be an enormous difference between the volume of the dialog and the other audio. The former is a *lot* quiter than the latter.

Tried the demo, just don't know quite what to make of this one - - - continued thinking~

It is an interesting concept and the opening screen is lovely. For me the dark rooms were strange and seemed much too empty after that lush opening.

I'll give it another try one of these days.

Just made some changes to the demo to address some feedback.

- photos, etc. show up centered now
- room-to-room movement should be easier

Is nobody else having problems with the sound? It`s difficult to make out the dialog for me playing on my lappy.

The music is a bit loud; but it could be the range of your laptop speakers; I'd recommend trying a good quality pair of headphones.

Yes, sometimes I did have a problem with the music being louder than the voices, it is strange because with the same set of headphones when I restarted the game again,without adjusting anything the speech could easily be heard. So words of comfort it is not your headphones nor computer. I have Vista Mj2c with sigmatel audio card. My suggestion is restart and try the game again.

I downloaded the Demo and played a little bit but then I couldn't get out of the game. I couldn't find an exit or anything. I had to shut my computer down to close the game. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thanks,
