Thanks, BrownEyedTigre  Liking the look of this game, I downloaded the demo to my Win7 machine (something I very rarely do) but couldn't play it  When I clicked on the launch icon, I immediately got a screen with Play, Quit, Etc options but the mouse didn't show properly. It was OK on blank parts of the screen but it went "underneath" and was "hidden" by each option choice. I did manage to make the "Quit" icon work, even with the mouse "hidden underneath it" but that was all that would work  Has anyone else had problems ??

Oh no! That's not good, Mad! I am afraid that I haven't seen this particular issue before.
Did an image appear on the main title screen, or was it just a black window with the options visible?
When you unzipped the demo, did you retain the existing folder structure of everything? If not, that would explain the issue, as well. Essentially, there should be the base folder with "Stonewall Penitentiary.exe", and there should be several child folders, such as "images", "audio", and "voices". Are these there? If not, that may be the problem.

Hi CBSection31  And thanks for your quick response. Anything I download automatically goes into a pre-existing folder called Downloads. After I downloaded your demo to this Downloads folder, I copied the files (zipped as they were) and pasted the intact ZIP into a new folder I'd created, which I'd called Stonewall Demo, extracted the demo files inside there, then double clicked on the exe file. [I've since deleted that folder.] Just now, I tried again but this time I launched the demo directly from the download folder and this time it worked !! (  ) So I was able to start playing. However, I couldn't find any way of exiting the demo (I hadn't finished it) so called up Task Manager and got out that way. I liked what I played and will certainly be interested in the full game !!

Hi Mad, I'm glad you got it working!  When in the game, you can click on the little gear icon located in the lower-left corner of the screen and choose "Quit". This will take you back to the main menu to exit. The only time the gear icon is not visible is during cutscenes. I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying it!
