Thanks for the feedback! We are definitely having a look at our save system and hope to have a much better solution for players to make saves more frequently.
For the mini games: at this time we don’t plan to implement a skip option. While the game primarily presents itself as a VN right now, we’re aiming for more of a click-and-explore type story which lends itself to more interactivity than just reading and following the story. The games and how well the player performs them will have an impact on the story.
We hope you decide to stick around and enjoy the rest of the game as it’s built, but if it’s not something that appeals to you- that’s OK too.
