We're thankful to everyone who's supported Demonschool so far! We'd love to hit 500 Steam reviews and get Faye her pretzel, so drop us a quick note if you're enjoying it!
Don't forget: If you've played and enjoyed Demonschool, please do leave a review on steam! We want to hit that "overwhelmingly positive" threshold. And remember, if we do it by the end of the month (5 days!), Faye gets a pretzel~ store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

It seems irresponsible to spend 5 paragraphs and a headline talking about the game without saying this is not developed by Grasshopper Manufacture.

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

I am always manifesting my greater bonewalker
Bonewalkers are among the distinctive ancestral revenants that guard Dunmer burial sites, and which may be summoned as spirit guardians. Among the undead, they are less worrisome than their more powerful manifestation, the Greater Bonewalker.
