Got it for free to stream it and it was exciting to get a key to play a game that fit my channel brand pretty well topic-wise. For the points that need improvements, I already wrote them down for the dev on discord so there's no need to repeat them here in detail :) It did feel like I was play-testing or troubleshooting the game instead of having a fully immersive gaming experience. The music is good, the art decent, though quite generic, some of the characters have potential, but the setting and plot need some fleshing out. The pace is too fast to bond with the characters, and the combat system can be unexpected to come across. We were joking in chat about this being a VN with a "soulslike" combat (two phases, no saving when you want, not even dialogue skipping) and since these are the two main genres I play on my channel, I can't be mad. All in all, fun to play. Also, it could use more chess.

I am giving a positive review because I did enjoy the story and the concept however I thought the pacing was way off. Everything moved so fast that it made it really hard to follow what was really happening and made it difficult to really gain any connection with the characters. I did enjoy the play through but think there could have been more content or more small choices to help interact and connect with the characters in a better way.
