Thanks for playing and enjoying the games, and for the thoughtful comment! I'll take everything you've said here into account as I continue to balance and improve both games, but to address a couple of the things you mentioned...
Kira doesn't have the greatest memory (or the greatest critical thinking skills for that matter), except in very selective cases. Axugaem1 (which isn't up on itch.io but which you can find on my DeviantArt) gets into her backstory a little more, particularly her relationship with her sister, which is partly to blame for Kira's unusual demeanour.
And it's nice to hear that you like the story and characters! I've always found RPGs to be a unique means of telling stories and getting to know characters. They're definitely the focus of basically anything I do that isn't straight-up a fetish art commission, so it means a lot knowing people find them interesting and engaging! Good luck with your own game!

That's a tougher question than it maybe should be for me at this point, lol. It will depend on how much work I decide to put into the 'second act' of the game, which is everything after the Earth Temple (which will be added in the next update). It will be much shorter than the first act, but there are also lots of large story scenes and potentially complicated interactions, plus a postgame to think about, so it might take quite a while to finish! As of right now, I still don't have a good estimate ^^;
