I got to the shroot village and wandered around the forest for a while and couldn't figure out where to go next. The party fighting jrpg gameplay is solid and I enjoy the way you gain your party members. I tried the creature combiner a few times and got some good and some bad results, not sure how exactly it works because I didn't test it too extensively. I ended up with a team I liked and fought my way through the forest. The forest area is kind of really big for a first area and the zones look pretty similar to eachother so I found it hard to navigate. The city had the same problem, the streets mimiced each other and other than the unique landmarks it was hard to know which street I was on. The intro was quite long but I think your going for a story heavy rpg so I think its appropriate, but still there's a good bit before you actually kill something. I ran into a bug where the first time I downloaded the game there was 0 sound, I was pretty sure this game had sound so I redownloaded it and it worked, not sure why or how but I thought I would mention it. There was also no sound settings in the pause menu which I'd like to see. But other than that the game itself is well put together and the art looks good. Nothing in game was broken. Good game overall and I'll try to get further next time.

You're a mensch. Thank you for your review; lots of genuinely valuable feedback. I'm going to populate the city a bit before the Steam release, and I might try and add some landmarks to the forest to make each screen more distinguishable.
As for where to go next in the game -- have you met an NPC named Leon yet?
