This is one of those games that I would desperately like to like, the art is good, the game looks like it is going to be fun, and it has a genuine sandbox feel.
BUT
The flaws at the moment simply outweigh the good aspects of it.
1. The entire game is grinding, and not an enjoyable way, you do menial tasks over and over completing minigames that would be fun in a limited capacity too many times for them to be enjoyable anymore. There is no clear objective for how many times you should do these games either, so you just end up doing the same thing over and over hoping that it does something.
2. There is not enough possibility to advance the character forcing you into situations where certain stats are needed to continue to story and if you built your character wrong, there is pretty much no way to get them.
3. I never even go to the fighting, which I was pretty excited to try, but after grinding the same 3 characters for 2 hours I ended up giving up.
I think this game has a ton of potential, and as someone who follows these kinds of games pretty religiously, I really hope that the grinding issue is resolved, since it is the root of the problem. A game does not need to be made artificially long to be enjoyable, and I feel like the content that is there is trapped behind this barrier of entry a lot like some kind of MMO or mobile game, where the only way to get far is to dedicate an unrealistic amount of time to it. If you solve to grinding issue, I think this game could be a true gem.
One these game breaking issues are resolved I will revise this post and give you the 5 stars you can clearly achieve. I respect your passion and dedication and what you have made here is truly fantastic, but in its current state it is pretty much unplayable.
As a side note, the quest with the bartender is broken, when you attempt to drink with here it says that you need 5 reputation, but even if you have that reputation it still says that and you never get to drink with her.
