I installed this game a while ago and didnt play it until yesterday but now i have 18 hours in it and i just caught up on the first run. I was actually intrigued in the story a lot. You said the pacing was fast which it mightve been but i thought it was fine and the plot twists were crazy. I also really liked the 4th wall breaking scenes and jokes so all around i really liked this game and cant wait for the next update to come out. Also feels bad about the data loss but take your time to redo it and maybe you'll catch mistakes or something. While it is disheartening to lose the datayou got it chief.
Hey !
Sorry for the late answer, I'm glad that you had a good time friend, the data loss is a small problem, but as I said I managed to get back 90% of what I lost losing only everything that came after the small beta released a while back, thankfully, with my current work schedule, the next update for ToU should be pretty beefy to make up for it !
