Thank you for this pleasant review !
For the UI, I know it's hard to find a compromise between lights signs and secret alphabet, I'll do a better job for this part !
Concerning the feeling of being lost, I added better maps in strategical points, hopping it could be more helpfull.
I didn't understood the last point, do you say that the animations of interactions are too slow, or there is some interactions which operate in a way too far from the event ?
