Finally I found out, why I can't download the Demo : In Germany there is no access to the DEMO on the shopsite of this game due to missing age-rating !! Please take action, rate the Demo and offer it in Germany, too (again). And if you have problems with re-activating your Demo, you might find these explanations from other DEVs useful: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/437440/discussions/0/598517805390787336/#c598517805390789152 https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/1674920/discussio...

Hey everyone, Thanks for downloading and playing the demo of Caffeine: Victoria's Legacy. The team has spent nearly a year preparing and developing the visual novel. Our plan is ambitious, and that is to create an original English visual novel with cinematic qualities, complemented with great artwork, music and also a great story that will be remembered for years to come. But in order to achieve this goal, we need your feedback. Love it? Hate it? We want to know! Does the demo make you want to know more...

So I launch the demo - it won't start. I uninstall and install it back a couple of times, repeat - same result (which is nothing). Checked other demo and full release Visual Novel games I have - with the exception of 1 other demo game, they all work. Help, please? Not particularly encouraging to get the full game... ...

Spoiler below for Knights route

i've got frequent "stopped working" issue with the demo on quite old laptop. had to reload multiple times in order to finish the game.
