I ran through the entire thing. It's really fun. The world is enjoyable, the pictures look nice.
My wants while playing it is, perhaps markers above people who have sex scenes or otherwise are waiting for content that requires more lust, and a way to see the outfit you currently have equipped outside of dialogue. And of course, more lewd content, but you have to ramp up slowly. The stuff you were describing sound interesting, though I recognize that once you open that bottle, there's no putting the genie back. Still, I'm thirsting for more lewd content after what I saw.
It was kinda odd seeing that difficult puzzle in the middle of the game. I appreciate the option to skip it, but I also appreciated the challenge. I have to admit I didn't have all the information and I didn't know why I was failing it a few times, but I was given enough information to trial and error through it. I like stuff like this, I'll be happy to see more.
Thanks for the review, i'm really happy to know you had your share of fun playing it!
As for the markers above the NPCs, I understand that some people would prefer the NPCs that give an event to be marked, and I've given it a lot of thought, but ultimately I prefer to avoid hierarchizing the NPCs. If only "quest" NPCs were marked, players would just run to them and forget about the rest, and above all it takes away a certain immersion and reminds us of the only reason we've downloaded the game, which I think undermines the overall experience. To compensate for this, the game is normally designed in such a way that you can't get lost, or that it doesn't take you too long to find a specific NPC (probably less than 2 or 3 minutes in Roselake).
However, there are times when bubbles will be required, notably in tomorrow's update with the continuation of Megelia's quest, which is marked out, since it would otherwise frustrate many, and that's absolutely not the point. The absence of bubbles in Chapter 1 is not intended to waste your time or artificially extend the game's length (which doesn't work with maps as small and condensed as Roselake's Lobelia), but to avoid the feeling of browsing a pornhub front page in which you don't click on the thumbnails but on the NPCs marked with a heart.
And as for the riddle, I agree that it breaks the rhythm of the game a bit too much ahah, it was one of the first things I did when I started the game, when I still had no clear idea of what I wanted to do. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed this little puzzle, and in the future I'll make sure to integrate them better!
