Full Disclosure: I have an entry in the Jam.
Spirit and essence of Harold: Harold is the hero and leader of the party.
Fun: Potential is there.
Creativity: Really well crafted game world by someone with significant experience with RMMV and plugins.
General Comments: Unfortunately, it felt like I was dropped into the hollowed shell of another game. The game world is massive. I sailed all over the place and visited dozens of towns and dungeons. I ran into half a dozen NPCs who knew Harold and wanted to join the party although they had never been encountered before. I was never given any sidequests so wandered aimlessly. Traveling on the overworld turned in to a chore because random encounters seemed to happen every 10 steps. Combat was imbalanced, fortunately in favor of the party. We made quick work of the mobs, but there were hundreds of them due to the high encounter rate. I liked the Dictate book, but discovered it has a limit of ~50 entries. When I tried to find the dialogue from the early game, I only found the quips from the last dozen battles. I had no idea what I was supposed to be looking for and after an hour and a half, I forgot what the quest was and stopped playing.
