How long is the full version going to be? (The more the better as I've absolutely enjoyed the demo. 9 hours and running as I want to unearth all the hidden gems. Already found Mario, the Bechdel Test and Dorothea's childhood friend. Wondering if that spot on the old man's map is included within the demo.)
The comment below criticizing your dialogue feels so unfair. To me, it reads just great, period-appropriate and witty, never feeling too long or boring. I'm not a native speaker, but I read and write in English a lot, I used to translate fiction into it so I can appreciate the effort you put into making your characters' speech flow so smoothly. The Dnege's line praising the guards for politeness, in the very beginning, is my favorite.
With all the visual beauty and great stories, I must say the carnival points are weird at best. At Level 1, I had a decent amount of these, but once I advanced to Level 2, they were nullified (I didn't use them up in battle, they were just reset to zero at this precise point). Before facing the Duchess, I pumped my CPs to 48 using the grapes, but entering the battle, Triche appeared to only retain a meagre amount while Dr. Becco still had all of his CPs. I'm puzzled by whether this is a bug or the way CPs are supposed to work.
