This seriously need better pacing, i've been like 3 hours into the game and literally nothing has happened. The only worthwhile scene is if you decide to finish off the first part with Minerva, but after that, again, nothing happens. This is one of the best looking games in itch.io, but it's completely ruined by the long dialogue (which most simply don't make any sense) and nothing happening. Just my two cents, love the game but it could use some work on the pacing.
Not the op, but I agree, I was unknowingly thrust it the new plot, spent HOURES stuck in that fucking office.
I pulled through though, and I was told to jump two chapters, so I went back to the old plot, and it is too similar, and again I am stuck in that office.
Cutting the summer drinking binge all together will help the pacing so much, and hiding the new plot until it is ready (or at least the first act is) will too.
Everyone agree with that because of your pacing like a snail and it will cause bored after some time passed. Also, your hints and marks are really bad that it doesnt even activated in 3rd or 2nd level, totally blank. I get tired after playing for 1 hour and maybe need another week to throw this frustation 1st before continue playing. UI, interaction and control was so bad that it killed the fun.
