I think this newest iteration of the main story is my favorite of the three so far. The 2020 "old map" one felt way too spaced out and I think they realized there was no way they could have filled out that entire map. The fishing village one was a nice vertical slice of what they wanted to do in terms of the romance system and minigames. I didn't like how rushed it was in terms of the federation dudes fraternizing with the locals. This time you're at the federation camp for a mission or two before you see the kerpalis. I liked the lore/worldbuilding of how the kerpalis are humans who later in life transform into animals. I liked the spooky dark forest and the penis mushrooms. Others here complained that the text moved too fast. I thought it was the perfect amount of time. I like the general trajectory that the story is heading in.
It needs a brief intro cutscene showing the federation just arriving and setting up who the MC is and perhaps an optional tutorial mission going over basic mechanics. Like you leave the camp with a romance interest NPC to collect some stuff, and then have to fight off some trash tier hyenas. Or it could be the two of you just sparring lessons, and what you say during the mission can influence the romance. I would also like to see them lean into more of the worldbuilding side. For example, add some bamboo to the other side of the river to explain how the kerpali houses came to be.
Only thing that actually made me cringe was some of the goat dialogue when you need to find commander fox. I can't believe I need to point out that molesting unconscious strangers isn't sexy or comedic. I suggest rewriting/reframing that interaction.
Overall, I look forward to the game's official release in 2030.
