When the game did those tests at the start and then went <"that was it"> I totally thought 'Ahh, now I get all the complaining.' You guys set my expectations too damn low xD.
Bit choppy writing in the prologue. (I have feeling > I have a feeling etc).
The mouth and eyes on the moving pictures somehow... shifts? That would work so much better for a scary horror story xD
There are a number of random time skips with no real warning or context - that can feel a bit jarring.
On a more positive note, I rather like the art, it feels original - or has something to it that I haven't seen in similar games.
The writing does improve after the intro. The swaying characters grew on me after a while too and the character building / story itself is pretty good.
I didn't get to the end of the current version in one sitting. Overall, I'd say just what I've seen so far is already much better than many of the games I've played before have ever gotten so updates or no - the negativity here is way overkill.
Maybe it isn't the gmichael guy who's on someone's payroll eh...?
