Why it matters
The prologue answers the question the earlier pitch left open, how the pair ends up on the island, which suggests the game is now far enough along to dress its opening rather than only its loop.
The updated demo adds a prologue showing how the fox girl and her frog companion reach Adashino Island, starting in the fox's apartment and running through a convenience store errand, a shrine theft, a culvert, and a boat ride.
The demo at room6's booth opens in a room rather than on the island. The fox's apartment has a CRT television and a black rotary phone, and she ignores the frog's warning that the electricity bill is overdue until someone pounds on the door and the power cuts out. Paying the bill at a convenience store and collecting offering money from the neighboring shrine come first. On the way back, the shrine shrinks and is carried off by a lantern-like tsukumogami, and a chase leads through a hole, a culvert, and a moored boat to Adashino Island, where darkness blocks the paths and a shrine turns up in the hands of the Todai-sama.
