I only started playing so I will write another comment later, but since I tend to play very slowly - I just wanted to say now that the atmosphere and the beautiful style absorbed me from the very start, and I love all the references - they make the experience metatheatrical in the best way. Thank you for this wonder.
Edit. After finishing Act 1, I just want to add that it was amazing start to end. Love the dialogues, Raika's especially. Also, I like the interface - playing was not only exciting but also comfortable. Looking forward to meeting the characters again in the full version.
