Differences between the demo and the full version

1. The full version of the mod will include dialogues with voice actors.

Be sure to finish configuring other appearance elements before moving on to the body shape at the very end. This bug will be fixed in the full version of the mod.
3. The demo version has a simplified skill system. The developers discovered a last-minute bug that caused the skill level to not change automatically when changing SPECIAL statsThe developers know how to fix the problem, but it will take some time and they didn’t want to delay the demo because of it.

In general, the demo is convincing. The creators still have a lot of work to do, but what they have achieved so far is impressive. The demo version offers hours of entertainment and the creators have effectively captured the original atmosphere.
