I really like the game; the concept, the artwork, the story! I'm looking forward to seeing more it. 

The menu screen is a bit confusing. When first getting past the splash screen, I was thrown into the character creator, but it wasn't immediately clear what to do when I was finished there. At first I didn't realize how to even get out of that screen. Then I didn't know what to click on once I was in the bookcase selection screen. I think that it would be beneficial to make the volume numbers on the spines bigger, or have it otherwise more obvious which book to click on to start. The rest of the interface could use more focus-states, in my opinion. 

Thank you for keeping in the rollback option enabled. It's an accessibility issue for some and just a nice quality-of-life thing for others. In that vein, I don't quite understand why the option to remove at-will saving and loading was made. It's probably the most annoying thing for me, personally. 

Just some thoughts. It's a beautiful game!

Thank you for your feedback! Regarding the menu screens, would implementing tutorial pop-ups assist with navigation for first-time players? e.g. A pop-up after the splash screen saying something to the effect of, "Name the Éireannach (Irishman) and select preferred pronouns to continue" and another in the bookshelf menu highlighting Vol. 1 as the starting point of the game, etc?

Regarding at-will saving: We generally felt our chapters were of a short enough length that automatic saving after a chapter ends would be sufficient, but we will make a note of this feedback from an accessibility perspective. Implementing at-will saving is not something we could do immediately, though, as it would involve creating another menu and incorporating it into our current interface in a sensible way.

I think tutorial pop-ups for the main menu bookshelf would be great! For the character creator, I did all those - named the Éireannach, chose my pronouns, and clicked save. I remained on that screen. I tried a bunch of keys/clicks (I think right click worked) to get to the main menu. Maybe a 'Continue' or 'Finished' button near the 'Save' button on that screen would work?

Thank you for considering at-will saving! <3

Ah! The exit button for the character creator menu is the "x" in the inkwell's bottle cap at the top left, actually.

D: I completely missed it!
