Hello there!
Many tanks for the review, we really appreciated that you too your time to write such an exhaustive comment.
We definitely need to rewrite the game as soon as the contest is done. Things are really messed up at this point - the fact you said we name Value and Reputation way before we explain what that is is very important (and it's quite a big mistake).
About the time disturbance you mentioned, actually it's just an excuse to let the PCs know already something about the Island without doing some investigation but still leave the thrill of not knowing whatever the Storm changed before they reached the Island's shores. It's also an easy way to create a tense situation (define A, then negate A or make it unstable and foggy).
Thanks again for the compliments and the whole review!
