It was kinda cool for a while that the game was building up to be something really worthwhile. I think that's why a lot of people gave this 5 stars.
But, despite the developer's frequent 'interaction' with the fans, the game has been at a virtual standstill in terms of story for well over a year with much more attention given to meaningless visual and niche customisation. So I think its now less about how we think the game will look and more about what it is now. For this kind of game, I'm less willing to give time (keep in mind this game this game has been around for a long time now), although I appreciate how much effort has gone into drawing. Better games have been made in a fraction of the time without the backing this has had on patreon.
Right now, the plot has barely reached the main setting, the vast majority of choices made thus far have had no implications to the story. So, it is not an rpg yet. It is meaningless and a poor investment of time. None of the characters have had any depth whatsoever and many are just thrown away after a few scenes (the way the plot has progressed, it didn't seem like depth was on the to do list).
I hope to change the review but given how the game is going, it'll be years before anything and I don't think I would care to on my 84th birthday.
