This wasn't getting any reviews, so I decided to just copy/paste my post from within the thread in order to be able to add a Star value to the game.
Ok that was just hilarious and fun. All the animation that would normally be missing for large scenes in a Ren'Py Fantasy is made up for in RPGM style characters, but with 3D characters overlaid onto the world for the important people. I honestly would recommend giving it a try. The mini games make sense, and even though a few of the timing events are a little bitchy they let you retry immediately.
Now for the two downsides I found:
1. Combat is atrocious. This system needs a definite rework. The mad clicking involved with it just carpal tunnel waiting to happen.
2. The end of the game had no marked "Save here" point. It was just over and led into the credits. I had to reload an Auto Save to get a proper save file.
Other than those two things, I love everything so far, including the inventory system. I would like maybe some freedom of choice as to where to go on the map eventually, and possibly some non-story related looting areas, but other than that I'm looking forward to the next release.
