This does have animations, though. It just doesn't have the tag for some reason.
Frankly,
if this game has a problem it isn't the graphics or the animations.
Something may be said for the characters presentation, until now, almost all of them are in a cloud of suspicion or straight up lies. There's hope that some of that is cleared up on the next update.
To me, after replaying, the author made a couple decisions that could be called excessive. One, presenting key players with too little info, giving them an aura of deception, Two, allowing us to read
SOME of their thoughts, while controlling the info. All of that, isn't bad. It was just EVERYONE. If the characters had been introduced at a slower pace (no clue how, they needed to be there) or, some of them were allowed to open further, maybe the sense of impending doom and darkness wouldn't be so strong and pervasive. But, that's not a problem for long. I think that some of this needs to be cleared, or, I fear that the interest in this will wane even further.
Or, I could be completely wrong, always a possibility.
Peace
