Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed your time with it.
These are all good points of criticism -- some parts of the script aren't as polished as I'd like, and there's definitely some pacing and balacing issues. I'll make a note that the Butcher is proportionally more central than the others -- ideally, I'd actually like every character to have as much influence on each other as the Butcher by introducing more events and items that crossover.
The event balance is definitely wonky -- right before release I lowered relationship threshold levels on all the NPCs and boosted their availability times in the hopes that anyone playing the jam would be able to see all the game's content. Unfortunately that means even slightly optimal play can leave you with a lot of waiting around time, so I considered adding a skip-day button but ultimately didn't implement it.
Thanks for your thoughts! I hope to make an expansion of this game and I'll definitely take your feedback into account when I do.
