Looking forward to more, general thoughts and positives far:
- Writing is good
- Writing pacing is good too, lore dumps are spread out enough I didn't just skip them
- Characters are interesting
- Intro quest is actually engaging - can't quite place what it is, but it's just done well
- Some people don't like save crystals - I don't mind them, as long as they're well spaced
- The method you relayed game mechanics got a genuine chuckle, nicely done
Small issues/suggestions:
- Town is a little confusing - the path behind the inn should be clearer
- Path through the trees was easy enough myself, but above people apparently had issues
- You can cancel speech menus with the cancel button, but a last option of "leave/nevermind/cancel/that's enough maggot" would be nice in those menus as well
- A gallery option is always appreciated
- Gallery would provide this itself, but otherwise some sort of scene tracker - doesn't need to spoil how to get them (although hints are good), or even say necessarily who has them (if you do wish to be mysterious), but some general "You have X scenes left to see" would be grand
- If scenes are missable, the above would need to relay that or it could be frustrating
- On that note, since you're using save crystals - some kind of diagetic "this is a good point to put a new save to come back to view scenes or choose alternate scenes/paths" could also be a good idea
- Edit: choosing the MC name would be nice too
Questions:
- More Dryad when?
- The thread tags list futa/trans, I didn't see anything in the game, or anyone clearly hinted/stated as such - and it's also not included in the genre tags written in the post itself. I can definitely see it fitting in - goes hand with femdom, which from Samira, the patreon tier names, the phrasing "dominated by living legends"... well, yeah, that's a thing. But, will futa/trans?

Keep up the good work!
