I would recommend to speed up how each turn goes during the turn based segments (if is possible), they seem to take a while to get into choosing the next attack.

- Wish there was a checkpoint to save after beating fien but before fighting the skeleton. I accidentally closed the game after getting to the skeleton for the 2nd time and lost all progress I made since my last save so I couldn't see what happened when you beat the skeleton. Good game though.
- Really loved this game. I enjoyed making my frens way too powerful before I went to the last boss. It soft locked a couple of times but still really enjoyed it. Well done.
- Nice RPG, I wish the turn based segments weren't so slow during each turn tho.

There's a pretty devastating softlock + save issue. It doesn't seem like stat upgrades get saved, only the your story progress, money, and Frens you've collected. So whenever a save file is loaded, each Fren reverts back to their base stats. This is made worse because the final boss room has places where you can get softlocked before you can trigger the dialogue/fight:
<- don't go here, you will be trapped.
This happens on the right side as well. Reloading a save to solve the softlock resets everyone's stats, which then makes the boss fight impossible, I'm guessing, unless you grind back to where you were.
I still had a good time with the game, though. It was nice being surprised by the wide variety of things referenced in the Fren roster, and the art and music was great. I'll probably try again later with a new team.

My game started being flagged by Windows Defender for no reason as well. Funny enough my GF tried downloading this game to test if this was some kind of shenanigan and to our surprise, this got flagged too.
If you're on Windows 11, you gotta look for the Security settings and restore the quarantined file on Window Defender.
Also you may wanna check if your game is getting flagged on someone else's PC too since we're all using the same engine.

Thanks for letting me know, that's disappointing. It didn't let you override the detection at all?

Unfortunately, Windows Defender on Windows 11 is stupidly agressive, and will immediately snatch the file into quarantine unless you either create an exception beforehand or downright disable the thing. We didn't caught this until last night when I happen to ask for more testing, and we woudn't have known about this since me and my brother used a different anti-virus.
