Leaving reviews for games you've enjoyed is incredibly helpful for indie games. Don't forget that is also true for demos. If the demo has its own store page, leaving your thoughts helps with the algorithm and provides general feedback for devs on their journey to launch.
Hell is pleased to inform you that The Mailroom is part of Tiny Teams Fest! The demo is live on Steam, so feel free to get a head start while you can. (A little practice never hurt anyone.) And remember—the Mailroom arrives this October 26.
