Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Most of the team is taking a well-deserved break before diving back into heavy bugfixing, and we're aware of performance issues, script-flow bugs that can cause character scenarios to break, and the voice volume issues. We hope to address these with our next update.
If you have the time, would you be able to share the OS and specs of the device that you were playing on? I plan to implement a toggle that allows players to turn off the video animations and would like to gather information for a recommended minimum system requirements. Thank you again for playing!
