Thanks Impy <3
Yes, it is perhaps a bit late, you'll need to clear about 5-6 stages for first unlock. There is not much interactions for now thou, but putting them closer to beginning might be a good idea.
Softlock wise, dialogues will wait for queued animations to finish, and then might require an extra input to close. I will investigate it closer thou, and maybe automatically close last lines like i did in hima.
Thanks again for such quick feedback :3
