So i get picked of the street, get introduced and almost immediately put into a lead role? sure xD
The story is interesting, and the visual executions is done well, though as you described, these kinds of project mainly require just a lot of content/work to get done.
The alchemy theme is a bit missing, but the shadow organization is a good one on the shadow part of the theme.
Did run into certain scenarios where i would have like to be able to return to a previous scene, like selecting a location and not being able to go back to base from it.
Nice job :)
