I saw examples of converting rpgm games with map crawl into kinetic novels, so this game in my opinion, needs a complete overhaul in similar fashion, to maintain story line. Its grind develops unconstructive play mechanic as I play it in skip mode, with Ctrl or Tab key, as a result I get messy understanding of story line, what is happening and why, did Melinda liked my move or not? Why I can’t get instant metric telling me you are doing well, or back up try other option. This “green/red/no color” prompt is not consistent so I have no trust in it. I downloaded v6, and played for hour with saves from v4, and v5 incremental of v4, and triggered a few new events with Melinda, but progression percent did not change consistently. By the way checking that percent is grind by itself, you have to jump trough 3 pages (“kudos” to dev/creator continuous care of players ergonomic) to see it.
This game needs game mod, that would put all existing scenes in a list, so triggering them trough mod interface will let you grasp story, and feel yourself a human again, not a click trough monkey. I give that idea to dev if he ever reads f95 thread.
