I got slightly soft-locked by the rats and mines. Those rats are probably overtuned, frankly, even for a game intended to be difficult so you give in to edgar. I could probably resolve it via ng+, but ultimatley I've hit a bit of a wall where even Edgar is starting to get owned by the enemies, not just the rats. I assume this is intended but I do think the difficulty curve could be a bit better.
For the negotiations, there needs to be a way to manage each aspect of it individually. It's annoying setting up edgar, then setting up Liora, then having to go all the way back to edgar to adjust his clause to make it so I can afford the thing I want, then having to re-set-up liora again. Maybe a menu with the offers on each side and the ability to go back and forth?
Also Edgar stopped negotiating with me? He stopped talking to me in the morning, even though I got to like, 2 weeks without clearing a dungeon, and says he doesn't want to negotiate when I visit him, and he won't help with treatments any more. Not sure what happened.
Lastly, I wanna be able to fuck other characters, too! More ways to make money that involve corruption and betrayal and such. For example, when Garrick is beating up Rean, maybe instead of a duel there could be an option to flash him daily or something. Also -10 hp should be harsher, make it weak 1 or something.
Anyways, pretty cool concept! I'm eager to see more once it's a bit smoother and more fleshed out!
