I decided to see how quickly I could eliminate Raibaru or Osana. I learned that it's possible to eliminate either one of them on Monday in under 7 minutes, if you know exactly what to do. (Ideally, you will play the demo numerous times and test every possible elimination method against Osana, so even after you've used the 7-minute method, I'm hoping that you will keep trying out many other methods.) Because it's possible to eliminate Osana or Raibaru so quickly, I feel like Osana isn't "difficult" to eliminate.
My goal isn't to make it "difficult", but rather, to disallow the player from simply running up to her and killing her immediately without any sort of consequence. The player should have to use a method; when I say "method", I'm saying that the player should have to pick a time/place, gather some necessary materials, and use them at the right time. The idea isn't to make it super hard, but to prevent it from being super easy.
I've spent dozens of hours testing Osana elimination methods this month, and it honestly doesn't feel "hard" - however, it does feel like the experience that I intend for it to be. This makes me lean towards two conclusions:
(1) Osana's difficulty in the demo will be not as hard as people think it's going to be. It will require 7 minutes of effort minimum, but my focus is on preventing you from being able to just run up and stab her without dealing with Raibaru first.
(2) Osana's difficulty in the demo will actually be very similar to how difficult she's going to be in the final game.
