Hey thanks for the kind words first of all. :) I do see what you mean and I admit it is an interesting point of view. It was a bit easier to find yourself around, right? I tried to compensate for that with differently colored areas. Maybe I need a few more unique things in each path to make it more clearer?
Yes absolutely. In the end I will combine all episodes into a full game. Though I want to keep the episodic nature to give the impression of an actual Anime TV series. :D
