Thank you so much! That was an amazing feedback! : D
I actually agree with pretty much everything. I still like the game, but it certainly could have been done better.
The new version has a new ending where Mia escapes and lives, and the painting puzzle has been reworked (and the hard difficulty option has been removed), so I believe the new version is certainly better than the first one. Also, Mia, Gepetto and Pinocchio will be back really soon in A House for Alesa 3
