Whadya mean another demo?

After the fantastic, yet exhausting journey we all went through in Andromeda Software Development creating The Legend of Sisyphus I wasn't expecting us to be creating another demo for a little while.

It was the perfect gift for my nameday, a gift that had a fairly large amount of work and serendipity behind it.
