This looks really promising. The protagonist is not a bad written mess, and actually has a personality, I just wish we could learn a little bit more about him, but since that's just the first build I know we can't expect much. The other characters are mostly likable, even tho we didn't get that much about their motivations and etc. Also I can now confirm Skjold is indeed friend shaped, very important information!
Definitely gonna be following this project. Can't wait for the next update.
