Well, about the lack of plot in this game, in the hall of the developer i work for there is a sign, just above the guests hall, .... (i will no tell the name or i'll spoil my job) died, is not a story, but, ....... died and soon after the village lost track of........ is a story. This is the reason this game is nearly plotless, characters background is nearly without connections to other characters. unless the game will be implemented with grief, jealousy etc... is "story hopeless", and is sad as Nikki show that the author is able to write something good.
