Although I liked the overall story and the characters, I cannot suggest this game at all. The idea for battles is interesting, but it is merely something superficial that completely loses usefulness in the second half of the game. Moreover, the game does not shine in any aspect of gameplay: the combat gets repetitive (and neglected) very fast, the puzzle element of the story is not puzzle at all since all you have to do is go from one point to another to find the interaction you need to continue the plot. Even the loops are really a pain because you are forced to redo entire parts of the game almost identically with really minimal dialogue change. Dialogues that in the end are well written, but become boring very quickly as the characters talk about objects and matters that are not at all necessary, this for EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION. The player should be incentivized to check around at every loop, if it weren't for these endless dialogues for every interacting item that you can trigger every loop (and for many of these you can't skip them, even though there is a feature for skipping specific dialogue). On the plus side, the narrative has many "cool" moments with incredible scenography design, but they convey a message that is way too simple and the "cool" moments seem put in on purpose just to impress. In fact, many of these "cool" moments are not explained at all at the end, and the author of the game expects players to come up with an explanation. I would have enjoyed the game much more if the story had been more compact, but unfortunately this game has too many fillers.
