Oh great, I'm really curious about Lyra's part!

It will involve getting her free,but it also involves The Syndicate, which I haven't developed so well yet. So, she'll have to wait a while unfortunately. As for the dark enemies, it's a bit unfortunate how the game darkens the battle screen if the map is dark. Hopefully, I can work something out in the future. You've been a massive help, let me know if you fancy a little custom pic making of one of the women, or I could pop a little NPC into the game named after you!
