Hi! I understand your points. I will add a feature to skip the spinoff minigame for sure eventually.
About the forced decisions, this was purely intentional. In a game where you can replay as much as you want, it was important for us to have the player make choices that actually matter. If you could replay all the time, choices would never affect you.
We fully intend on letting players replay as much as they want (in fact, the only thing you cannot change is this specific choice). We just want a very few choices to be definitive. We knew it was going to be controversial, and we are sorry that you feel this way about them!
Thank you for playing! <3
