A moderately interesting but easily skippable little extra. Though I guess it's free so I can't complain too hard.

Presentation is pretty nice and has a couple really cool effects, and there are some (very) light gameplay elements to keep things from dragging. It also has some choices to be made, but they make minimal to no difference in the end aside from different dialogue (I guess it kinda adds replay value....?). Unfortunately, it is very short, so there is no real time to build any connection to the characters. It sets up some small points of interest for the full game, but they're mostly done in 3 text boxes, so there isn't much intrigue to build on either... It leaves this "prelude" feeling a bit empty. It's also very unpolished and feels thrown together, at times the transitions seem to hang a bit, the portraits are pretty inconsistent, and there are no basic features like a log. It would have also helped to have full voice acting, but the short voice clips are better than nothing.

I kinda enjoyed it I guess, here's hoping the full game is good.
