I opted to purchase this (on Steam) even though it is early access because of the consistent development log you post here. I think this level of transparency is very important when you're asking people to spend money on an unknown entity, so please, keep it up! This game is one of the better written ones, and the artwork is wonderful. I am excited to see where it goes.

I think tutorial pop-ups for the main menu bookshelf would be great! For the character creator, I did all those - named the Éireannach, chose my pronouns, and clicked save. I remained on that screen. I tried a bunch of keys/clicks (I think right click worked) to get to the main menu. Maybe a 'Continue' or 'Finished' button near the 'Save' button on that screen would work?
Thank you for considering at-will saving! <3
I really like the game; the concept, the artwork, the story! I'm looking forward to seeing more it.
The menu screen is a bit confusing. When first getting past the splash screen, I was thrown into the character creator, but it wasn't immediately clear what to do when I was finished there. At first I didn't realize how to even get out of that screen. Then I didn't know what to click on once I was in the bookcase selection screen. I think that it would be beneficial to make the volume numbers on the spines bigger, or have it otherwise more obvious which book to click on to start. The rest of the interface could use more focus-states, in my opinion.
Thank you for keeping in the rollback option enabled. It's an accessibility issue for some and just a nice quality-of-life thing for others. In that vein, I don't quite understand why the option to remove at-will saving and loading was made. It's probably the most annoying thing for me, personally.
Just some thoughts. It's a beautiful game!
Played the demo on Steam and loved it! I do have a few questions though:
- Will the full version of the game have a history or log, where the player can look back on the story so far/leading up to their choice?
- Will there be a rollback feature for dialogue/choices (particularly if the history or log cannot be viewed)?
- Will there be a screen on the options panel or elsewhere that shows what keys do what? I hit enter a few times expecting to advance the text but found it didn't work. (I prefer using the keyboard to navigate).
Thanks!
