It's been a little over a year, and I've been hard at work during that time. The 2025 demo of Guardian Cry is now out, and it includes a heap of new content and general improvements:

• A playable overworld section with an entire new dungeon (the Minotaur Temple)
• Interactable NPCs
• The ability to exchange Emblems for health upgrades in town
• New title screen and general graphical improvements
• Improved jumping and pit physics
