Despite me deciding not to touch the game again till its completely finished...I caved.
Certainly an interesting last act(if a bit smaller in scale than expected).
Though coming fresh off of it I have to say the chosen LI epilogues(bar maybe the King one)feel...lacking.
A bit too conscise and short,robbing them a bit of their impact.
The extensions dont feel significant enough compared to the side epilogues to really give a satisfying conclusion.
Maybe just a bit more exploration of the future relationships with a single new slife of life CG would help here(though to be frank,even that feels more like a bandaid,I would probably take a note from VNs here and create a completely new LI depended scene,placed some time after the stories conclusion,having the pair interact for one last time,showing their new status quo in a more normal environment and possibly expanding on their plans for the future,maybe even leading into a last h-scene).
Dunno,possible that Im the only one feeling that way.
Oh there is also a bug with Belle at the LI selection.
Whenever I click,it just spouts some text and drops me right back.
Tried a good 5 minutes but the game kept refusing.
I take it thats just the necessary shrink spell missing right now and not the game categorically trying to break my black little heart.
Jokes aside...yeah a more Belle focused ending would be great.
Keeping her around is nice but part of me screams for a really smarmy(and likely silly),more romantic ending with her.
Leaving all that,should be interesting to see whats planned for NG+.
With the "best" ending being achievable without multiple cycles I do wonder what its narrative purpose will be.
