Yeah I do agree with you, the quality of the models and animations is there, but the process to get to them is horribly long, tedious and extremely non-apparent, even with walkthroughs the progression is discouragingly grindy.I believe I gave you 2 stars simply because I loved the animations, there may be 60+ of them but it would take me months to see them all, I only saw a few on the family and a few of the others but it took a song and a dance then a few dozen repeats and variations of the song and dances with me flipping back and forth through walkthroughs and I finally threw in the towel.
I've come to love several games out of Russia and this could have been one of them as your translation was very good.
I do wish you well.
And this is a damn shame, I really like everything else.
