Bad free-roam, bad UI design, bad choice to give no hints whatsoever like where to go, what to do.
You HAVE to use a walkthrough and even WITH the walkthrough I couldn't find any scene, just always talked to characters.
The engine is stupid and bad, transitioning is a 2-3 second blackscreen which is annoying.
I like the female protagonist, I like the setting, I seriously like all the renders.
But the gameplay is just terrible.
I have to drop it, I just can't play free-roam games like that. Waste of my time to find scenes when I just want to play those games to enjoy myself.
Not wanting a quick fuckfest game, but seriously this whole grinding shit with stats in addition to such bad free-roam is a game killer.
Dev, consider remaking the whole game. Preferably a VN. Into ren'py as well.
