i genuinely loved this game. i just think that specific skill checks shouldve been a 100% chance to occur after a certain amount of points. for example, getting into the building where you pick between a savoir faire skill check and a physical instrument skill check can straight up soft lock your game if you cant do either, so i had to savescum it to do it. it sucks because a big part of the game is dealing with the failed skillchecks that you get along the way.

aside from that, the pace of the story is a little wonky sometimes, but the first half of the game was genuinely one of the most engaging and wonderful stories ive gone through in any artistic medium. its amazing how much work was put into crafting this world.
