Just a head's up to anyone who wants to play this through the Itch Io app - the "Launch" button is configured to start the extraction process, it is NOT an executable for the game itself. After the extraction process is done you have to go to where the files were installed and start the game manually. It's under the "xovv" folder.
Thanks for writing such extended feedback - I'll try and address all of your points, but don't hesitate to ask for further clarification if I haven't given enough detail.
To begin, I can definitely see how the opening could come across as too heavy with dry exposition and references with little context - however, that's also due to most of the setup being frontloaded; since the 'normal' order of things disintegrates very early on, so there's not as much opportunity to spread that background through the game in a place where certain characters can be seen interacting instead of it just being described second-hand.
Most of the introductions are taken care of in the demo, so hopefully you'll find the full game to move at a more streamlined pace.
I haven't heard that issue with the courtyard mentioned elsewhere, so I'll be sure to see what could be causing it - thanks for reporting it, even "obvious" seeming errors can be missed.
Regarding the chimera battle - you're right in seeing it as unwinnable, as like all chimera encounters in the full game, it's not possible to defeat it. To progress to the last scene of the demo, you have to choose the "submit" option that's added to the game over menu when you die a second time against it.
The full game's chimera encounters progress normally from dying once, but the additional menu part for the first is intended to play off the frustration of repeating boss battles with unskippable cutscenes.
The demo just has one full scene at the end, and a brief fanservice CG near the beginning. The full game has several with both human and monster characters.
You can rebind everything but the movement keys by pressing F1, but if the directional keys are an issue that likely won't help. I'm trying to get WASD movement working at the moment, but for the time being, would numpad movement solve your problem?

This game looks pretty interesting. Any chance there'll be a version for Mac user?
A native Mac version would likely only be considered after the full release; so until then you may have to run the game under WINE or with a VM.

any recommendations on a good .rar extractor? or any way to change it to .zip?
If you're not able to use WinRAR at the moment, here's a version in ZIP.
Thank You!!
Is there any sex scene?

Can you make it point and click?Or have the option to change the controls? some of my keys don't function so i can't really move anywhere

probably.
Okay - tell me if this version of the demo works for you with numpad movement.
