Simply incredible! The music, art, UI, and story were all top notch! As others have said, the skip battle button was a very thoughtful addition that I truly appreciated! Very well done!

WOW. I'm blown away! This was such a well-told story, and absolutely fits the thoughtful theme. I'm really impressed. The RPG battle mechanics didn't completely work for me, but I got through a few battles and the rest were no obstacle thanks to the skip button (thank you for including that!). Very, very nice. One of my top picks for sure!

Wow! Well written. I was really pulled into the mind set of The Hermit in particular. I chuckled too when I saw the Enhanced Training Dummies. Probably my biggest wish was that there was some audio feedback after attacks. Otherwise, the music was a stand-out. Nice work!
