I'm glad you enjoyed! Chapter 2 is available if you're interested in continuing.
1. There is no save import feature, but there is a recap at the start of every chapter to lock in player choices.
2. Currently we're looking at a release schedule of every 1-2 months. Chapter 2 is out now. Chapter 3 will be out in June. There will be about 10 chapters in total.
3. Each chapter will be separate and will cost $1.00.
I definitely see the merit in your suggestion, but I'm going for a more immersive, book-like approach with this game, so I won't be using a side bar for stats. As for how the protagonist handles fights, that will be something you can tackle as the reader on a case-by-case basis.
Thank you for playing!
