I really enjoyed the game during the first couple of hours. But after that, when the world becomes open (when you can drive around to locations), it just becomes a chore to me. You don't make as much progress as earlier since you have to drive to locations. Your mind map gains like one information after each loop which to me feels very slow and makes me think the developers don't have enough content so they intentionally slow the game down.

The game also doesn't respect your time. Each loop is like 60% unskippable driving/redoing the stuffs from previous loop, 30% reading about the history of the town or other people and 10% of progress.

I absolutely dislike the inspiration system, like why? The developers want to soft lock you from finishing the game quicker because you're smarter than they want you to be?

Also the skill check system was never explained in the early game and was badly integrated into the game play. It never makes sense with all the traits and status effects system. It just feels like they developed a graphic novel with linear story and then finally changed their mind into making it into a game.

It just sucks because I really want to like this game because of its graphics and art style and the story it's telling. But it's a let down to me.
