Plot Differences#

Plot is very different in the demo:

  • Michael explores the beach and the tower with his sister Ellie instead of Dary
  • Michael doesn't fall through the tower floor, but finds a key, which he examines with Dary's help, and descends into the basement through a hatch.
  • Hass unties Michael in the tower's dungeon and then takes him to the palace (whereas in the release version, he is taken to the palace in a disabled state, where he is mistakenly freed by Corsic)
  • At the palace, Michael is met by King Karhen, who holds a dinner with the protagonist in order to learn about the customs of modern people.
  • King Karhen himself appears active and involved, rather than apathetic.
