Cool update, but why are they adding characters so soon? I think they should add more to the current characters first before they start adding new ones. I don't care for the new ones.
Really liking the refreshing new art-style, the character arcs are pretty good as well, although Konami and Jada's pacing is a little and a WAAAY off, respectively.
Encountered a bug with the four medallions puzzle, one of my earlier (wrong) solutions got "stuck" and I couldn't try any more until closing the puzzle to go back to the office scene. From then on, every time I'd attempt a new solution (also wrong), that first stuck solution would pop back in and I'd have to back out of the puzzle again to make another attempt...
Next up, the Lessons mini-game. With a mouse and keyboard I can see it being stupidly easy, but on a touch screen or trackpad (I'm using a laptop with trackpad to play) it's damn near impossible. Perhaps in the short term a boolean option could be added to the preferences menu for "touch-pad mode", off by default. If this new option is set to "on", add an extra 1-2 seconds to the clock, simple.
With all that said, it was still a decently enjoyable game to play, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this game goes in the future, thanks for sharing it with us! (^_^)
