Thanks for the feedback! Yeah we weren't quite able to shore up some of emptier segments in the middle. More streamlined controls could certainly help -- we were also thinking something like fixed perspective and no movement within rooms.
I really like Silver Case, so I guess some of that influence shows haha. And the composer (Jamie) was directly going after a DanganRonpa feel, which was composed by Masafumi Takada, also behind Silver Case music.
